Cybersecurity for Healthcare & Life Sciences

The Center for Internet Security understands the cybersecurity needs for institutions like yours.

Overview

Cybersecurity threats in the healthcare sector take on many forms.

  • Malware, data breaches, and insider threats expose affected patients' protected health information (PHI).
  • Successful ransomware attacks oftentimes lead to IT network disruptions, which can limit facilities' ability to provide patient care.
  • Cyber threat actors (CTAs) use phishing attacks to compromise employees' inboxes and conduct business email compromise (BEC) scams, costing healthcare facilities and organizations in their supply chain both time and money.

Threats such as these undermine the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of information handled by healthcare organizations. Patients may not be able to receive life-saving treatment in a timely manner as a result.


Top Security Concerns and Solutions

Hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, and other healthcare providers store tremendous amounts of PHI and need 24x7x365 uninterrupted access to their systems to properly care for patients.

CIS offers many solutions that can help.

this really is my dream job – being able to take my skills and have the opportunity to apply the CIS Controls to an organization that is more than willing to raise the bar for cybersecurity maturity.” “I was blown away with a great instructor who introduced me to the CIS Controls and how great it would be to get into somewhere to use the CIS Controls.
