You can think of the Security Specialist at Healthcurity as Sherlock Holmes. Security Specialists are tasked with the important roles of planning, testing, implementing and monitoring security measures and processes for Healthcurity and our hospital clients.
Planning Security — auditing and security overlooked vulnerabilities, security specialists closely inspect every aspect of your network to ensure you’re invulnerable to ransomware, data breaches and cyberattacks and to ensure HIPAA-HITECH standards are in place for you to get the most out of your Medicare payments. They identify vulnerabilities, assess risk and identify appropriate mitigation for hospital security.
Testing Your Network — security specialists identify ways into your network through phishing, hacking and scanning to identify areas that need additional attention to prevent very real and possible attacks on your network. They focus in on any vulnerability and latest attacks in cyberspace to ensure your hospital remains impenetrable.
Implementing Security — process, people and infrastructure all contribute to a secure hospital network. Security specialists make sure processes are in place to prevent, react and effectively respond to any security incident. If you could be duped in a phishing attempt, tricked into divulging too much information, or deceived to opening the door to an attack, wouldn’t you want to know your and your staff’s weaknesses beforehand? Our security specialists do exactly this!
Monitoring your Infrastructure — most IT Support teams have no clue what to look for when viruses or ransomware infects a network because they simply aren’t experienced in identifying the most current attacks. Healthcurity Security Specialists monitor your network 24/7/365, focusing on the latest attack behaviors to ensure your network is completely guarded.
Responding to Incidents — every network is secure until it gets hacked. If something were to happen—and this is often how we’ve been pulled into new hospitals—security specialists do the heavy lifting to assess security incidents or attempted breaches and find ways to completely mitigate and address security concerns.
