Patient Care and Cybersecurity for Hybrid Environments
Patient care creates sensitive data, including Personally Identifiable Information (PII), Payment Card Industry (PCI), and Protected Health Information (PHI), making healthcare a top target. Additionally, mission critical IoT devices, reliance on legacy systems, and integration of third-party vendors increase attack surfaces. Ransomware threats and data integrity risks further complicate security efforts to these diverse, hybrid environments.
Traditional approaches fail to provide the visibility, context, and prioritized guidance into exposures impacting patient care. Teams need insights into fixing the riskiest exploitable exposures across integrated delivery networks to support compliance. Finally, security teams must justify cybersecurity investment against patient care spending.
Challenges for Healthcare
– Sensitive Data Trifecta (PHI, PCI, PII)
– IoT Devices
– Legacy Systems
– Data Integrity
– Ransomware
– 3rd Party Vendors
How XM Cyber Helps Manage Risk in Healthcare
Sensitive Data Trifecta:
Patient care creates health financial, and personal data, all of which are targets for cyber criminals. Each can be housed in different apps, on-prem or in the cloud further complicating protection efforts.
Benefits: XM Cyber identifies, prioritizes, and guides remediation of exposures in business critical systems handling PHI, PCI, and PII.
IoT Devices:
To deliver advanced patient care, IoT devices are part of both acute and chronic care plans. Patient safety demands these devices remain online and functional.
Benefits: With XM Cyber you can see how attack paths cross from IT to IoT and break the attack chain. With a digital twin model, you eliminate the risk of knocking sensitive devices offline.
Legacy and OT Systems:
Integrated delivery networks relyon legacy systems like AS400 for EHR and billing ; OT systems support HVAC and other infrastructure. These systems often lack built-in security and rely on outdated architectures.
Benefits: XM Cyber extends the Attack Graph Analysis TM to these high risk assets. You can break the path to these assets and the business services that rely on them.
Data Integrity:
Health care workers rely on data to create and deliver patient care plans. Without confidence in the underlying systems, these plans can become ineffective or harmful.
Benefits: XM Cyber safeguards data integrity by identifying exposures, over privileges, and misconfigurations across critical systems and databases that could lead to compromise.
Ransomware:
Healthcare facilities are the critical infrastructure where zero downtime is allowed. If data is held hostage, patient care cannot be delivered.
Benefits: XM Cyber reduces risk by identifying exploitable attack paths to critical assets. You can prioritize critical exposures, strengthen defenses, and ensure proactive remediation.
Third -P party Vendors:
S trong due diligence practices and continuous monitoring of third-party security is critical to manage external risks.
Benefits: With XM Cyber, move beyond compliance and ad-hoc penetration testing to gain a continuous view of risk in the event that a connected third- party is compromised.
Get a unified view of exposures throughout your extended attack surface and how they interconnect into attack paths towards the critical assets that drive your financial services firm. With XM Cyber you get the context to prioritize and fix the exposures with the highest remediation ROI to optimize resource efficiency.
XM Cyber is a leading Continuous Exposure Management company that transforms the way organizations approach cyber risk, enabling security teams to prevent more attacks with 75% less remediation effort. Its XM Attack Graph Analysis™ capability discovers CVEs, misconfigurations, and identity issues across on-premise and all major cloud environments. It analyzes how attackers can chain exposures together to reach critical assets, identifies key “choke points”, and provides remediation guidance. Founded by top executives from the Israeli cyber intelligence community, XM Cyber has offices in North America, Europe, Asia, and Israel.
