CynergisTek Partners with Awake Security to Identify Adversaries in Healthcare Networks
Summary
As vulnerabilities have significantly increased, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and other healthcare institutions are particularly at risk as cybercriminals aim to create even more chaos among this sector already buckling under the pressure by a meteoric rise in coronavirus cases. This is made worse by a distributed healthcare workforce, vulnerable intellectual property related to COVID-19 research, and dwindling IT budgets and resources. By doing so, hospitals will be able to track every asset that moves across their network, whether on-premises or from remote users working in the cloud, while identifying high-risk incidents and compromised entities without the need for agents, manual configuration, or complex integrations. “Sensitive healthcare data is extremely valuable to hackers, and we know they aren’t sitting on the sidelines during the pandemic, but are in fact attacking both hospitals and pharmaceutical companies during this volatile time,” said Rahul Kashyap, CEO of Awake Security. By combining artificial intelligence with human expertise, Awake autonomously models and hunts for both insider and external attacker behaviors, while providing triage, digital forensics and incident response across the new network—perimeter, core, IoT and cloud networks.
