A large healthcare provider with various locations has to deal with escalating cybersecurity concerns when handling sensitive patient data and electronic health records (EHR) as a result of expanding digital operations. The firm employed third-party links for billing, imaging, and telemedicine while still adhering to HIPAA regulations. With few internal security resources, they looked for a proactive security services provider to improve regulatory compliance, fortify their defenses, lessen threats, and fortify their dispersed infrastructure.
The healthcare provider is at risk of patient data and medical equipment due to a number of security issues. Operational continuity and patient privacy were seriously threatened by ransomware threats, phishing assaults, and network breaches. Unpatched EHR software and old third-party integrations could provide vulnerabilities for cybercriminals to take advantage of. Inadequate access controls and a lack of multi-factor authentication (MFA) improved the probability of unwanted access. Inadequate safety monitoring and reporting structures also made it challenging for the company to comply with HIPAA.
Since malicious emails became the main way that cyber threats entered the system, email vulnerabilities have become a primary weakness. The business required penetration testing services to close these security flaws and proactive security services to strengthen its cybersecurity posture.
Proofpoint’s innovative email security solutions and a round-the-clock Managed Security Operations Center (SOC) for ongoing security monitoring and quick incident response were part of TronsIT Solutions’ extensive cybersecurity strategy.
By reducing response times by 70%, the 24/7 SOC stopped security breaches before they got out of hand.
Complete regulatory compliance was guaranteed via ongoing security monitoring, risk reporting, and compliance documentation.
Proofpoint substantially decreased email-based threats and attempts at unauthorized access by blocking 95% of phishing attempts.
Automated threat responses freed internal IT professionals to concentrate on patient care and healthcare operations instead of manually handling security issues.
The Managed SOC ensured ongoing cybersecurity protection by offering 24/7 monitoring, threat intelligence, and immediate response.
