Why your healthcare facility should embrace Deception Security Technology.
It’s flu season. The staff at your healthcare facility is hard at work providing patients with their annual flu shot.
The vaccination process is an interesting one.
A medical professional injects the patient with the inactivated influenza virus. The patient’s immune system learns the disease’s course of action and develops antibodies— a proactive defense against the real thing.
What if we told you that a similar concept is being used to safeguard data from cyber criminals?
It’s called Deception Security.
If you haven’t heard of it, you will soon.
This emerging technology acts as a virtual vaccine—anticipating cyber criminals and stops them before they compromise crucial data.
Here’s how it works.
Decoys, disguised as targets are placed throughout the network or on your hosts. A hacker’s presence triggers a series of automated actions that entice the hacker. They think they are close to accessing valuable information. In reality, the Deception Security system has recorded the hacker’s behavior and method of attack.
Furthermore, because beacons have been placed in your data, even if the hacker gets it, once opened, not only will you be alerted but the data will refuse to render. So either way, they get nothing.
Isn’t that great news? And, even better?
Because your data does not have to be on the network to be attacked, the Deception Security platform will protect devices that house your data. So, when they are stolen from your organization, they are protected even if the hacker never connects to the network!
Read on to see three reasons why healthcare should look to Deception Security to protect its vital data and then contact us here.
- Healthcare Facilities are Prime Targets for Cyber Attacks
Your healthcare facility’s database is brimming with patients’ credit card numbers, social security digits, and medical records. It is a magnet for cyber-criminals. In fact, three United States hospitals are recovering from a spate of ransomware attacks launched earlier this year.
The nature of the industry makes it especially easy for your medical facility to fall victim to a cyber attack—and especially difficult for it to bounce back from one.
Even if data is salvageable, a reputation for upholding the promise of patient confidentiality may not be.
- Deception Security Technology Offers Unprecedented Sophistication
When viruses like ransomware are detected and dissected in mainstream news articles, you’d better believe that hackers go back to the drawing board to scheme new ways to access your facility’s data. These new methods may carry them through your facility’s existing defenses, but hackers stand no chance against Deception Security.
As you read this, hackers are hard at work developing increasingly sophisticated ways to sneak into your system. Imagine their surprise when they realize that your system has tricks of its own!
It assesses each move a hacker makes and responds with an appropriate diversion to prevent a devastating cyber attack.
- Deception Security Technology is Cost-Effective
It is built to complement existing cyber security systems—not replace them. Disrupt a hacker’s incursion without disturbing your facility’s status quo or budget.
Strengthening, rather than replacing, your current cyber-security infrastructure results in substantial short-term savings.
The long-term savings are immeasurable.
Regulatory fines and the massive loss to customers, data breach recovery is significantly more expensive for those in the healthcare industry.
Deception Security technology boosts your system’s immunity to an attack. After all, an ounce of prevention is always worth a pound of cure!
The risk of your medical facility falling victim to a data breach is high.
The stakes are even higher. Cutting-edge and cost-effective, Deception Security Technology is your best shot at preventing a cyber attack.
