🔒 Improving the Cybersecurity of Your Private Practice The AMA's Todd Unger interviewed Charles Aunger of Health2047 and HEAL Security to analyze the latest trends of cybersecurity in healthcare and uncover better ways to improve the safety of your healthcare practice. Based on Aunger's findings, cybersecurity vulnerabilities and incidents are continually going up in numbers each month, with the number of breaches doubling over the last year. Aunger also outlines measures providers can take to improve their security, notably: - Keeping medical device software up to date - Changing your passwords every 90-180 days - Using a password manager Cyber attacks undoubtedly disrupt health practices, posing significant risks to patient safety. Poor cybersecurity measures can lead to data manipulation, fraud, and numerous other dangers, so it's crucial to take the steps to make your practice more secure. 🗃 Priority Practice Management is here to help you focus on your patients by taking care of the administrative hassles of your private healthcare practice.

"Our advanced machine learning techniques...classify devices within an extensive asset knowledge base. We organize devices into an “Asset Catalog” with a sophisticated hierarchical structure, from buckets to categories, sub-categories, profiles, and device instances, along with business/owner context such as who is using the asset."

🚨 Think your secrets are safe? Think again. Aqua Nautilus' groundbreaking research reveals widespread exposure of enterprise secrets in leading Source Code Management Systems. The combination of poor coding practices and Git-based system behavior has led to long-term secrets exposure affecting enterprises, healthcare organizations, and open-source projects. Katie Norton, Industry Analyst at IDC, states, “IDC research underscores Aqua Nautilus’ findings, showing that organizations are overly confident in their posture related to the protection of application secrets." Commit once, expose forever. Learn more here 👉 https://lnkd.in/ed-DKG6B Research by: Yakir Kadkoda #AquaNautilus #PhantomSecrets #CommitOnceExposeForever

Webinar tomorrow -- last chance to register! Don't miss out on the chance to gain valuable insight from Conversant Founder/CSO & Cybersecurity Expert John Anthony Smith tomorrow, June 18th at 1 PM EST. Get ready for eye-opening revelations! 👀💡 Register here: https://okt.to/gpchBs What you use for backups significantly impacts recoverability. Recovering data from disc, the cloud, or tape presents additional challenges. A large energy client had 7000 machines to recover, and while they DID have a backup – it was all ON TAPE, creating significant delays. That client had a business interruption burn rate of nearly 10m/day…so the time – and cost – of having to recover from tape was much higher than it needed to be. Interested in learning more?

Only 1 WEEK left until our exciting webinar! Don't miss out on the chance to gain valuable insight from Conversant Founder/CSO & Cybersecurity Expert John A. S. on June 18th at 1 PM EST. Get ready for eye-opening revelations! 👀💡 Register here: https://okt.to/UGpcta From helping hundreds of companies recover from some of the highest profile breaches in the world, we've learned a few unique things about backup protection! Backups need to be DECOUPLED from the identity plane and key infrastructure. Having multiple copies isn’t enough if they aren’t separated. Active directory or even backup software itself can allow threat actors access to multiple copies.🔒 Our client – a major law firm in the Northeast – had 3 copies of their backup. But the threat actors destroyed them all through a single access point – their own backup software! Interested in learning more?

Couldn’t attend RSAC 2024? Here’s a recap courtesy of Structured Communication Systems VP of Security Solutions Brad Pierce.   An overwhelming theme of this year's RSAC was the practical implementation of AI in products and in solutions to protect against the risks of companies' adoption of Generative AI (#GenAI). We observed the emergence of a number of vendors with AI request and response firewall capabilities to protect against the prompt input and prompt output as a seemingly innocuous request could be phrased in such a way as to allow sensitive information disclosure.    Conversational AI integration into user interfaces for product configuration, assistance, and enrichment was abundant. The biggest and most productive advancements were in the integration of GenAI into security information and event management (#SIEM), security operations center (#SOC), and threat management solutions.   Artificial intelligence (AI) was seen across all facets of cybersecurity. Keynotes and sessions emphasized how AI is reshaping industry practices, from threat detection to automating security processes. Notably, the use of AI in augmenting cybersecurity defenses was highlighted by several speakers, including representatives from the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS)​. Consensus seemed to be that while that AI would bring advantages to both attackers and defenders, at this early stage, AI’s ability to operate at speed, scale, scope, and sophistication seems tilt the scales in the defender’s favor.   X - SPM (#SecurityPostureManagement) was the second most prominent acronym of the conference, with data security posture management (#DSPM) being the most prominent of those. We are seeing greatly increased activity around data management and data security. This includes data loss prevention (#DLP), data discovery and classification, monitoring and auditing, masking and encryption, etc. For a deeper dive into DSPM, please check out a recent blog from Structured GRC Director Rob Wayt: https://lnkd.in/geYk7zCs   Curious to learn more about how these advancements may impact your environment? We’d be happy to chat. Contact your Structured account manager or email info@structured.com #TechTipThursday #RSAC #cybersecurity
