Safeguarding Your Healthcare Journey with Seamless Cybersecurity

In today’s digital age, healthcare organizations face a growing threat landscape when it comes to cybersecurity. The sensitive nature of patient data, coupled with the increasing sophistication of cyber attacks, necessitates a strong focus on safeguarding healthcare systems and information. Cybersecurity plays a crucial role in protecting patient privacy, ensuring the integrity of medical records, and maintaining the trust of patients and stakeholders.

Get Your Healthcare IT in the Flow

According to a study by the Ponemon Institute, the healthcare industry experiences the highest average cost of data breaches compared to other sectors, estimated at $7.13 million per breach.

The healthcare sector faces unique challenges and vulnerabilities when it comes to cybersecurity. These challenges arise due to several factors:

Highly valuable data

Healthcare organizations handle a vast amount of sensitive and valuable data, including patient medical records, personally identifiable information (PII), financial information, and intellectual property. This makes them attractive targets for cybercriminals seeking to exploit or profit from this data.

Complex IT infrastructure

Healthcare systems typically consist of numerous interconnected devices, networks, and applications, ranging from electronic health records (EHRs) to medical devices. This complexity increases the potential attack surface and creates more entry points for cyber threats.

Legacy systems and outdated technology

Many healthcare organizations continue to rely on legacy systems and outdated technology that may have security vulnerabilities. These systems often lack regular updates and patches, making them susceptible to exploitation.

Insider threats

Healthcare environments involve a wide range of personnel, including employees, contractors, and third-party vendors, who have varying levels of access to sensitive information. Insider threats, both intentional and unintentional, pose significant risks to data security and privacy.

Cybersecurity breaches in healthcare can have severe consequences on both patient safety and privacy. These impacts include:

  • Compromised patient data
  • Disruption of healthcare services
  • Patient safety risks
  • Financial losses
  • Legal and regulatory consequences
  • Damage to reputation and trust
  • Litigation and liability

NUMA helps your Healthcare IT Flow

24/7 Monitoring and Threat Intelligence
We offer continuous monitoring and threat intelligence services to detect and respond to security incidents in real-time. This includes Security Operations Center (SOC) capabilities with experienced analysts who can proactively identify and mitigate emerging threats.
Network Security
We implement robust network security measures, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and intrusion prevention systems (IPS). Network segmentation will be employed to isolate critical systems and prevent lateral movement of attackers.
Identity and Access Management
We implement strong identity and access management (IAM) practices, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and privileged access management (PAM). This helps ensure that only authorized personnel can access critical systems and data.
Data Encryption
We ensure data encryption both at rest and in transit to protect sensitive patient information. This includes implementing encryption protocols for databases, backups, emails, and file transfers.
End Point Protection
We deploy advanced endpoint protection solutions, such as antivirus software, anti-malware, and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools. These solutions help detect and block malicious activities on individual devices within the organization's network.
