Company’s Specialized Expertise Results in New
and Expanded Business Opportunities
CynergisTek, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leader in healthcare
cybersecurity and information management, today announced that
several new and existing healthcare clients have contracted with
the Company for its new Professional Services offering. A few of
the existing customers include The Metro Health, Hill Physicians
Medical Group, Citrus Valley Health Partners and Methodist Hospital
of Southern California. CynergisTek’s Professional Services
offering places security and privacy resources in healthcare
organizations for short and long-term remediation, program
development and technology implementation projects, as well as
includes the company’s Virtual CISO (Chief Information Security
Officer) and Virtual Privacy Officer programs. CynergisTek expects
to see continued demand for professional services as cybersecurity
resources continue to be difficult for healthcare to recruit.
CynergisTek attributes demand for its Professional Services to
the critical need by healthcare organizations for skilled
cybersecurity and privacy talent with the necessary experience to
secure the environment from internal threats and cyberattacks.
Turning to CynergisTek, healthcare organizations can receive the
help they need by gaining access to professionals who are seasoned
in leading and executing security and privacy operations at
healthcare systems across the U.S.
“Good talent is hard to come by in any industry, and the
shortage of security professionals in healthcare is exacerbated by
the constant introduction of new and increasingly sophisticated
technology,” said David Finn, EVP of Strategic Innovation at
CynergisTek. “This environment necessitates the need for
individuals that understand, not only the new technology, but the
nuances of healthcare and our Professional Services offering
provides that in a manner that is very efficient for
resource-strapped organizations.”
The service alleviates the effort by healthcare organizations to
source and employ skilled talent for projects that are high
priority. CynergisTek allows organizations to choose between
on-site or virtual security and privacy experts based on their
specific needs.
“We continue to see tremendous demand from our customers for
experienced resources to perform short and long-term security
projects as well as to drive the strategic direction of their
cybersecurity programs,” said Mac McMillan, CEO of CynergisTek.
“With the current shortage of cybersecurity professionals expected
to increase to nearly 3.5 million positions by 2020 the challenge
of finding the talent is going to get more difficult for
healthcare. Having a strategic partner who can help them source
this need, when they need it, for as long as they need it, will not
only aid them operationally, but more importantly assist in
managing costs.”
