API Sentry service
helps healthcare organizations understand and mitigate risks
related to how data is shared through APIs
CynergisTek, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leader in information
security, privacy, and compliance, today announced the launch of
their API Sentry service, developed specifically for healthcare
organizations to manage the risks associated with the use of APIs
within their environment. CynergisTek’s API Sentry service is
powered by APIsec.ai, which leverages unique technology to
facilitate ongoing testing and identifies security vulnerabilities,
business logic flaws, and access control issues that can lead to a
loss of sensitive data.
Organizations have rapidly adopted APIs to accelerate the secure
exchange of electronic health records, and market research has
linked the uptick of API use in healthcare to growing use of apps
and wearables prescribed by medical providers and remote patient
monitoring. However, using these technical building blocks doesn’t
come without risk: APIs now account for 40 percent of the overall
attack-area for web-enabled apps.
“Streamlining the use of APIs has never been more important as
it lays the foundation for better interoperability between
applications, but also increases the attack surface for hackers,”
said Ben Denkers, senior vice president of security and privacy
services at CynergisTek. “Hospitals are becoming more
forward-thinking when it comes to data sharing and ushering in
technological innovation, but they also need to be smart about
preventing breaches. Our API Sentry service helps healthcare
organizations detect and remediate vulnerabilities created by the
increased use of APIs to accelerate enhanced interoperability of
records and data.”
Interoperability is not an option, new regulations from the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services set requirements for data
sharing, ensuring that patients’ data is accessible through
third-party applications. CynergisTek’s API Sentry service helps
ensure sensitive patient data accessed via APIs is safe and secure
- providing readable data and actionable results by adding an
intelligence layer and perspective on what a healthcare
organization needs to identify risk and to rectify or accept
it.
With API Sentry service, healthcare organizations will have
access to the CynergisTek Reporting Dashboard to track and manage
both identified vulnerabilities and associated remediation efforts.
Organizations will also receive an API Sentry Report, which will
offer key insights on vulnerabilities, identify risk, provide
remediation guidance, and strategic, tactical actions for
stakeholders to drive policy and for IT staff, network
administration and developers to drive technical remediation
efforts.
