Multi-Million Dollar Agreement for Professional
Services Will Improve Biomedical and Endpoint Security at Health
System
CynergisTek, (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leader in
healthcare cybersecurity and information management, today
announced that one of the largest health systems in the U.S. has
selected to expand its agreement with CynergisTek for Professional
Services. Under the terms of the multi-million dollar contract,
CynergisTek will place additional security resources in the health
system to augment the organization’s existing security team,
helping to overcome the security personnel shortage facing the
healthcare industry.
As the global cybersecurity workforce deficit is estimated to
reach 1.8 million individuals by 2022, CynergisTek is seeing an
increasing demand for its Professional Services offering, which
helps healthcare organizations overcome this staffing challenge. In
this new engagement, CynergisTek will provide full-time,
credentialed and experienced security professionals to provide
onsite and remote support at nearly 30 of the health system’s
locations.
The large, multi-site health system turned to CynergisTek as it
looked to design and implement security programs for biomedical and
endpoint devices, such as computers, printers and other
network-connected devices. Specifically, the health system expanded
its relationship with CynergisTek to assist the organization’s
efforts to implement the Cisco Identity Services Engine solution,
which streamlines security functions like threat and vulnerability
detection, and other network security efforts. CynergisTek will
also conduct business associate security reviews to enhance the
organization’s overall privacy program.
“We continue to see healthcare organizations of all sizes
struggle to recruit and retain talented cybersecurity
professionals, which are critical for addressing the evolving
threat landscape,” said Mac McMillan, CEO and President,
CynergisTek. “This new expanded engagement, which is the largest in
CynergisTek history, is a testament to a successful prior
relationship with this health system. It also demonstrates the
growing demand for security experts to help manage comprehensive
security initiatives that address all potential threats and
vulnerabilities, including those associated with network-connected
devices.”
CynergisTek’s Professional Services offering provides
organizations with qualified staff and expertise for short and
long-term staffing, program remediation, program development and
technology implementation projects, and also includes the Virtual
CISO (Chief Information Security Officer) and Virtual Privacy
Officer programs. As the worldwide demand for cybersecurity
professionals continues to outpace the growth of the talent pool,
healthcare entities working with CynergisTek can access support
from experts with extensive experience operating security and
privacy programs at healthcare organizations nationwide to
supplement existing resources in a customizable, cost-effective
manner.
