MDR Cybersecurity Services for Healthcare
Cybersecurity defense has an even more important role in healthcare provision than it does in most other sectors. A cyberattack that disrupts the ability of a hospital, clinic, or doctor's practice to access medical records or operate clinical equipment can lead to canceled treatments, distress for patients, and fatalities in some cases.

As demonstrated by the Critical Insight Healthcare Breach Report, the threats to healthcare providers from cybercriminal activity are high and show no signs of abating. Healthcare providers need to take steps to prevent falling victim to attacks by using cybersecurity best practices. However, the complexity of modern healthcare equipment and associated IT infrastructure, the ever-changing nature of deployments, and the changing tactics employed by cybercriminals means that staying up to date with the latest defense solutions and cybersecurity thinking is difficult.

Partnering to Build Strong Cybersecurity Defenses
As every healthcare organization's network and IT systems are unique, it follows that the solutions deployed to defend them will also differ. However, cyberattacks follow well-known pathways to breach security and infect IT systems.
Critical Insight's cybersecurity experts work with each healthcare organization's Leadership & IT teams to ensure that the proper protections are in place. This process includes several steps, as outlined below.
Gap Analysis & Risk Assessments
Determining the cybersecurity risk profile for a healthcare organization starts with a gap analysis to discover vulnerabilities in the current protections. This leads to a risk assessment report and recommendations on how to plug any gaps. Any vulnerabilities found are classified according to risk and severity, with the most dangerous issues flagged for rapid fixes.
See the Gap Analysis & Risk Assessments page for more details on this step in a cybersecurity defense strategy.
Detecting Cyber Attack Activity
When attackers evade perimeter security measures and gain a foothold on a network, they look for other vulnerable systems on the network to infect. This is especially true for ransomware attacks, which are the most common and damaging attacks in 2021. Network discovery actions performed by cybercriminals, or their
