Thinking about procuring a Security Operations Centre (SOC) for your business, but unsure on whether to build an internal SOC team or outsource it to a cyber security specialist business? Then this free infographic is for you.
Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend and speak at the H-ISAC fall summit here in Phoenix. As always, this conference is a great opportunity to meet back up with customers and friends from all around the Healthcare sector. This leads to illuminating conversations that really give me a higher definition picture of what is happening in the trenches and helps me better understand how the work we’re doing here at Netskope can help.
Consolidating vendors has always been on the mind of digital leaders, but the current economic climate has elevated this topic, with a recent Gartner survey claiming that 75% of organisations are currently pursuing security vendor consolidation projects, up from 29% in 2020.
As we enter 2023 and reflect upon a turbulent couple of years, it’s safe to say that promises for self-improvement regarding our health, finances and relationships are dominating our New Year’s resolutions. But what about resolutions regarding business? With an ever-increasing and steady rise in cybercrime in mind, business leaders should certainly be adding ‘improved cyber security culture’ to their list of new years’ business resolutions.
The shift towards hybrid work models has expanded the perimeters of work, adding to the burden on IT teams as they fight to stay resilient in the face of increased attack surfaces. All it takes for an invasion into an enterprise’s IT infrastructure is one compromised identity. So, what are enterprise identities? These are the user names, passwords, networks, endpoints, applications, etc., that act as gateways to business-sensitive information.
Whether you’re faced with consolidating your vendors or looking strategically at which vendors will aid with your future business goals, there comes a point when you must ask, “do you stay or do you go with what you know?” When it comes to deciding between cybersecurity vendors, it’s important to be open and consider the options.
As the need for a new security strategy grows, we use cloud-native security platforms (CNSP). Cloud services like containers, serverless security, platform as a service (PaaS), and microservices are the building blocks of cloud-native architectures. Because these services are loosely coupled- that is, they are not hardwired to any infrastructure components developers can frequently make changes without harming other parts of the application or other team members’ projects.
The healthcare industry has been plagued by inadequate security measures and common protocol mistakes that result in significant penalties imposed by HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Poor security protocols, neglected risk assessment audits, internal human errors, and the lack of employee HIPAA training are just a few factors contributing to lost, compromised, or stolen patient data and sensitive medical records.
