Remote learning, contact tracing, and threats
to academic research make cybersecurity essential to university
operations
CynergisTek, (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leading cybersecurity firm
helping organizations in highly regulated industries navigate
emerging security and privacy issues, today announced that demand
for its cybersecurity and privacy consulting services outside of
the company’s traditional customer base continues to increase.
Ball State University, located in Muncie, Indiana, signed a
managed services agreement with CynergisTek to help implement
security and privacy best practices. “Now more than ever and
because of how the Covid-19 pandemic has changed how we are
collecting and maintaining information, the university is taking a
proactive approach to creating a stronger cyber-defense,
cyber-hygiene, and protection of student, staff, partners and
research participant data," says Loren Malm, CIO at Ball State
University.
CynergisTek’s cybersecurity managed services program supports
universities and businesses in regulated industries that collect
personal identifiable information (PII) by assessing risk to the
organization, building a risk management program using best
practices, and if needed develop response playbooks should an
organization’s infrastructure be compromised.
“Academic research along with contact tracing has universities
generating volumes of private health and location data like never
before. As many of our clients are academic medical centers, it
positioned the company well as educational institutions partner
with us to assess, build, manage and validate the effectiveness of
a security program,” says Caleb Barlow, CEO and president at
CynergisTek. Mr. Barlow goes on to say, “CynergisTek was born in
healthcare, meaning we deeply understand highly regulated
industries and the strategy we laid out to diversify and expand our
expertise into adjacent markets supports the growth and demand
we’re seeing outside of the healthcare provider space.”
