To combat the cybersecurity challenges most commonly seen in the healthcare space, Proficio focuses on:
• Protecting against ransomware attacks: Increasing ransomware attacks are endangering patient care, forcing HIPAA disclosures, and burdening providers with expenditures. Proficio monitors ransomware attack vectors, manages advanced endpoint software, and provides incident response services to reduce the risk from ransomware.
• Preventing data breaches: Cyber criminals are motivated to steal and sell patient records, which is why the healthcare industry is often a victim of a data breach. Proficio monitors security events, detects threats and provides automated incident response services to help avoid data breaches.
• Identifying insider threats: Healthcare providers face higher risks of an employee or contractor accidentally or maliciously disclosing data. Proficio monitors activity on the network to detect suspicious behavior, policy violations, and credentials abuse.
• Assuring HIPAA compliance: Achieving HIPAA compliance and maintaining audit readiness requires a robust cybersecurity program. Proficio’s security monitoring and managed response services help clients understand their security posture and address gaps in compliance to pass audits.
