Protecting medical information and equipment

Cybersecurity is cyber health

As IBM research shows, an increasing number of cybercriminals have become interested in confidential medical data for blackmail, extortion, and other malicious purposes. The banking sector, which was previously considered the most interesting for hackers, was only in third place in the ranking.

The topic of medicine is close to us at H-X Technologies because we are in our own way doctors for systems and organizations. As described in this article, which compares cybersecurity with the human body and bodily diseases, we diagnose hidden problems in organizations, show threats, define risk mitigation measures, help reduce them and monitor the cyber health of our clients on an ongoing basis.

The HIPAA healthcare information security standard is particularly popular with our clients. Our healthcare cybersecurity services include:

Security compliance audit Gain a market advantage by aligning your organization with international security standards and frameworks such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, IEC 62443, and more. Penetration testing Test the resilience of your IT systems, staff or organization as a whole using ethical hacking techniques. We effectively assess possibilities of unauthorized access, service interruptions and other security incidents. Security audit of source code Eliminate vulnerabilities in your application before it even sees the world. We will find all insecure and undocumented functions, logic bombs and traps, back doors, OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, etc. Configuration audit and cloud security assessment Make sure your system, cloud, or product is fully up to date with security requirements. During the audit, we analyze accounts, network configurations, data encryption, incident response, and more. Incident investigation and forensics Find out who penetrated your system, and when, how, and why they did it. We carry out detailed research including media analysis and apply cutting-edge techniques such as RAM, registry, shadow volume analysis, timeline analysis, and more. Server hardening Strengthen your IT infrastructure by reducing potential attack paths. We find, tweak or remove unnecessary or dangerous features to close hidden loopholes before an adversary takes advantage of them. ISO 27001 implementation and certification Master the world's most widespread structural basis for building modern Information Security Management Systems (ISMS), namely the international standard ISO 27001. Obtain an official certificate of ISO 27001 compliance. Software development Order the development of software (whether related to security or not), the development of individual security systems or the execution of non-trivial tasks for secure automation of business processes. Managed compliance Do you want to not just achieve compliance with ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, GDPR, etc., but also regularly pass supervisory audits? We will help you effectively maintain and evolve your security management systems. Security experts as a service and Virtual CISO Add cybersecurity expertise to your projects by hiring our certified Remote Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and/or information security professionals. Managed threat detection and response Order advanced threat detection, immediate incident response, and continuous security monitoring of IT assets of all kinds: network devices, servers, workstations, and individual applications.

Healthcare customer data remains relevant and accurate for many years and is therefore highly valuable to hackers, especially when it comes to data from famous people or celebrities.

Healthcare facilities face the following cybersecurity threats:

  • Malware
  • Data leaks
  • DDoS attacks
  • Internal threats
  • Hacker attacks
  • Social engineering
  • Non-compliance with security standards

H-X specialists have many years of experience in assessing and implementing security in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. We have assessed the security of medical software and computer networks, and have also implemented HIPAA, HITECH, HITRUST, HL7, FHIR, and other national and international medical IT and cybersecurity requirements and standards.
