Technology incorporation is the most revolutionizing trend across industries. The healthcare sector is no exception and is witnessing an unprecedented digital boom. Technology reliance has made Cybersecurity relevant for the healthcare industry. A cyber threat can lead to financial loss besides the irreparable reputational damage. It takes a significant amount of time to regain normalcy. Moreover, cyber hackers are introducing newer ways of threats leaving IT experts in a dilemma. Therefore, the pressure to develop innovative methods to prevent or nullify cyber threats is paramount. The healthcare cybersecurity industry is abuzz with activities, yet challenges continue to restrict the space. Although cyber security solutions are abundant, healthcare enterprises still need help locating solutions that allow the highest availability of IT systems while ensuring the highest level of technical security. 123 CS surfaces as the most feasible option.
123 CS was formed in 2020. The team derives strength from its expert professionals, who consistently try to stay ahead of the market trends. Besides, the team is inclusive of both healthcare and cyber security veterans. “123 CS, in addition to being an expert in Cybersecurity, is also a health data host (ISO 27001 and HDS Certification). We have developed our offers to meet the specific needs of the Healthcare sector. With simple and practical proposals based on subscriptions to our solutions,” informs Laurent DERTIN, Director, 123 CS. The enterprise derives colossal strength from the expertise and knowledge of how the healthcare industry functions. Unfortunately, many contemporary healthcare cybersecurity enterprises occasionally intervene, mostly post an attack, and often lack knowledge of the underlying concerns of the health industry.
The enterprise extends cyber security at all levels of a cyber incident, before, during, and after the attack. Utmost security is ensured for the IT system for a client. Besides, sufficient training and awareness are provided. The other aspect of the before-attack strategy is establishing a set of organizational and technical set up. During an attack, the technical cell intervenes at the earliest post the discovery of an attack. The organizational unit also gets involved. The management team is assisted in acting and managing the establishment during an attack. Once an attack occurs, the enterprise employs the post-attack strategy, which revolves around attempts to understand what needs to be tackled first. Then, the further course of action focuses on rectifying the impacts, so optimal operations are resumed, and the preattack scenario is achieved. The possibility and occurrence of vulnerable points have been surprisingly high in the healthcare systems. Identifying and rectifying the chances of vulnerabilities is the primary step toward ensuring security for healthcare enterprises. However, it takes a different or industry-specific approach powered by industry expertise, perseverance, and total dedication. “One of our strengths that comes across a differentiating factor is that we remain close to our customers throughout the process and are always available during an attack and its rectification. We play an active role in the security aspect of our clients. Our attempts are aimed at strengthening security. Our expert team intervenes with our client’s stakeholders to rectify as many cyber-attacks as possible by correcting a maximum number of points. In other words, 123 CS has been able to successfully leverage the partnership support and skills to ensure Cybersecurity in the best possible way for healthcare enterprises,” adds Laurent DERTIN, 123 CS.
A popular group of healthcare institutions faced an urgent need to tackle a cyberattack. The IT department needed help to improve the scenario. The aftermath was a total shutdown that lasted beyond six hours. There were ransom calls as well. The scenario compelled them to contact 123 CS, although it was our first stint with them. 123 CS began the process immediately. “After 2 hours, our White Hat team could counter the attack completely. And start securing sites. So that they can once again treat patients properly, having the computer tool to help them,” explains Laurent DERTIN, 123 CS.
