Forescout en First Health Advisory richten samenwerking op het gebied van cyberbeveiliging in de gezondheidszorg op om organisaties te helpen IT-, OT- en IoMT-risico’s te verminderen
Partnership levert eersteklas risicoadvies en cyberbeveiliging technologie om realtime risico-inzichten te leveren
SAN JOSE, Californië–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Forescout Technologies, de wereldleider in geautomatiseerde cyberbeveiliging, heeft vandaag een nieuw partnerschap voor cyberbeveiliging in de gezondheidszorg aangekondigd met First Health Advisory, een leider in IT-risicobeheer in de gezondheidszorg. De samenwerking creëert een innovatieve benadering van het risicobeheer van verbonden activa door het automatiseren van maatregelen voor het verzamelen van technische gegevens, risicobeperking en risicovermindering voor het volledige netwerk van een zorgorganisatie, dat IT-, IoT-, OT- en IoMT-activa omvat.
De netwerken van zorgorganisaties worden voortdurend aangevallen en hebben vaak niet het benodigde menselijk kapitaal om toezicht te houden op het werk dat nodig is om een potentiële dreiging of aanval door snelle reactie te dwarsbomen. Deze uitdaging plaatst extra belang in de noodzaak om hooggekwalificeerde externe expertise te verkrijgen om een programma te operationaliseren en doorlopende risicobeoordelingen van activa over het hele netwerk uit te voeren.
Forescout and First Health Advisory Establish Healthcare Cybersecurity Partnership to Help Organizations Mitigate IT, OT and IoMT Risks
Partnership delivers best-in-class risk advisement and cybersecurity technology to deliver real-time risk insights
SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Forescout Technologies, the global leader in automated cybersecurity, today announced a new healthcare cybersecurity partnership with First Health Advisory, a leader in healthcare IT risk management. The partnership creates an innovative approach to connected asset risk management by automating the technical data collection, mitigation and risk reduction measures for a healthcare organization’s entire network that encompasses IT, IoT, OT, and IoMT assets.
Healthcare organizations’ networks are under constant attack and often do not have the necessary human capital to oversee the work necessary to thwart a potential threat or attack through quick response. This challenge places added importance on the need to obtain highly skilled outside expertise to operationalize a program and execute ongoing asset risk assessments across the network.
“Cybersecurity risk assessments for healthcare organizations are incredibly time consuming, static in nature, and mandated by regulatory requirements. Moreover, the steps to mitigate assessment findings and lower risk are difficult to complete with the current cyber skills shortage,” said Tamer Baker, vice president, global healthcare, Forescout. “This partnership and new approach that combines intuitive risk assessment and automated mitigation technology will allow healthcare organizations to not only make risk assessments easier and faster to complete, but also free up internal resources to support other critical aspects of the patient experience.”
The audit experience will also see a major transformation through this new partnership. Organizations will have an ability to automate evidence collection and receive ongoing mitigation and vulnerability management support from First Health Advisory staff year-round.
“Our partnership delivers the optimal solution healthcare organizations are looking for – the right balance of highly skilled, multi-disciplinary risk assessment personnel with deep understanding of the regulatory landscape together with a dependable cybersecurity platform that can automate risk reduction actions,” said Will Long, CSO of Enterprise Security & Technology at First Health Advisory. “We’re excited about this collaboration and together with Forescout, look forward to helping more healthcare organizations improve their security posture.”
