Hackers, malware and cyber threats.

 

 Nearly one million new cyber threats are released each day. Is your business at risk?


“2015 was the ‘Year of the Healthcare Hack’ -and it’s only going to get worse.” 
-Washington Post
 

Each day, businesses like yours are faced with a growing number of threats to your valuable patient and business data.

"...since 2009, nearly one-third of the U.S. population’s data has been compromised by breaches to healthcare organizations." -Washington Post


You may feel that your organization is secure from malware, viruses, hackers, malicious employees or even physical theft, but if you have never performed a professional Network Security Risk Assessment on your network environment, then you cannot be certain that your data is safe.


"In 2014, 10 million people were affected by healthcare data breaches. In February 2015, 80 million were affected by the Anthem Insurance breach." -New York Times


Healthcare business data is a huge target for hacking because social security numbers have a large resale value on the black markets. Also, healthcare security practices are often less sophisticated than other industries.


A Network Security Assessment, also known as a Security Audit, involves examining your assets such as servers and computers, as well as the practices, procedures, technical controls, personnel, and other resources to assure that you adhere to recognized best practices and IT Security Mandates.
