Midwest health system with multiple hospital
locations turns to CynergisTek for comprehensive technical testing
and risk assessment services
CynergisTek (NYSE American: CTEK), a leading cybersecurity,
privacy, compliance, and IT audit firm helping organizations in
highly regulated industries navigate emerging security and privacy
issues, adds a multi-hospital full service Midwest regional health
system with more than 30 locations to the CynergisTek’s growing
healthcare client base. In this six-figure agreement, CynergisTek
will provide the health system with comprehensive cybersecurity
services.
Under the agreement, CynergisTek’s Red Team will perform a
series of tests to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses within
the health system’s information technology environment and a
thorough assessment of the organization’s security program. The
result and high-valued deliverable is a clearly defined remediation
roadmap of priorities that the client can use to strategize for the
upcoming year, gain budget approval, and shore up defenses to build
resiliency against data breaches and cyber-attacks.
In a recent article on how to improve cyber resiliency,
CynergisTek’s CEO and President, Mac McMillan is quoted saying,
“Cybersecurity is a constant battle between good and bad. Good must
work harder than bad, because bad only has to find one way to take
advantage of you, and good has to find every way to stop them. But
at the end of the day, you end up a lot better off down the road if
you make good decisions based on continuous testing and evaluation
of your program and controls.” Partnering with a third-party and
expert in technical testing and security risk assessments is one of
the first steps in making good decisions because it helps
organizations understand their strengths and weaknesses.
“Adding yet another group of healthcare providers to our
CynergisTek client community is a demonstration of our reputation
and expertise in this space,” said Tim McMullen, COO at
CynergisTek. The healthcare industry is one of the most
sought-after targets for ransomware attacks. The threat landscape
in healthcare is more expansive and hackers understand healthcare
is more likely to pay a ransom because they can’t risk the
disruption to operations and patient care delivery and in some
cases leading to inadvertently harming a patient. McMullen goes on
to say, “CynergisTek has dedicated years to this industry and will
continue to support our clients in their journey to build
resilience and strengthen their cybersecurity and privacy programs
against future attacks.”
