Elevating Healthcare Security: Precision Threat Intelligence for Informed Decision-Making

As the healthcare sector becomes more digitized, it encounters a growing number of cyber threats aimed at its critical systems. From ransomware exploiting electronic health records (EHRs) to vulnerabilities in connected medical devices, healthcare organizations face an array of challenges unique to their sector. To help healthcare organizations build their resilience against these ongoing threats, Cyware is introducing the Healthcare Threat Intelligence Platform (Healthcare TIP)—a solution designed to address the specific needs of healthcare cybersecurity.

Unique Challenges for Healthcare Firms

Healthcare organizations don’t just handle personal data—they must also secure sensitive systems, protect supply chains, and ensure the safety of medical devices. Unfortunately, traditional TIP platforms often fall short of addressing the unique needs of healthcare. Traditional threat intelligence platforms often require extensive customization, delaying the ability to defend against sector-specific attacks.

Time is critical, and with Healthcare TIP, Cyware helps take the complexity out of threat intel operationalization for healthcare organizations.

Introducing Cyware’s Healthcare Threat Intelligence Platform 

Cyware’s Healthcare TIP offers a ready-to-use, pre-configured variant of Cyware’s industry-leading TIP, Intel Exchange, that tackles healthcare’s most pressing cyber defense needs. By automatically ingesting and analyzing threat intelligence from leading providers, the platform enables better protection against threats that target patient data and medical systems.

The platform is designed to empower healthcare organizations to more effectively manage both structured and unstructured threat intelligence from a variety of sources. Furthermore, it automates the enrichment, correlation, and analysis of threat data, making it easier to share actionable intelligence across cybersecurity teams and other information security stakeholders. With its custom rules engine, the Healthcare TIP enables automated threat intelligence actioning within internal security systems. Healthcare teams can also generate tailored reports and views for SOC, IR, and TI teams, as well as governance leaders like CISOs, helping them make informed decisions with the support of customized confidence scores, prioritized threats, and detailed metrics.

Using the Healthcare TIP, healthcare organizations can accelerate threat detection, streamline their response to incidents, and focus on securing everything from patient records to critical medical infrastructure. Unlike traditional TIPs, which often require extensive configuration, this platform comes equipped with healthcare-specific dashboards, rules, and tags. This allows healthcare security teams to focus on defending against attacks rather than spending valuable time fine-tuning their tools.

Healthcare-Specific Capabilities of Healthcare TIP

• Healthcare-Specific Feed Integration Readiness: The platform features pre-built connectors for leading healthcare-specific threat intel feeds, reducing the manual efforts required for setup and enabling quicker adoption and utilization.
• Healthcare-Specific Tagging & Saved Searches: The platform employs healthcare-specific tags and saved searches, allowing teams to quickly filter and operationalize threat intelligence related to patient data protection, medical device vulnerabilities, and other industry-relevant concerns.
• Real-Time Healthcare Threat Dashboard & Widgets: The Healthcare TIP’s intuitive dashboard and widgets provide a comprehensive, real-time view of the current threat landscape for healthcare. It includes widgets for Top Threat Objects Targeting Healthcare, Indicators of Compromise (IOCs), Threat Actors, Malicious Tools, Vulnerabilities, and Tactics and Techniques. 
• Comprehensive TIP Functionality: In addition to healthcare-specific features, Healthcare TIP delivers all the capabilities of an advanced Threat Intelligence Platform, including automated multi-source ingestion, automated enrichment, correlation, scoring, and dissemination of threat intelligence.

Real-World Impact

Healthcare organizations using Cyware’s Healthcare TIP can see several key benefits, including:

• Faster Threat Detection: By leveraging healthcare-specific threat intelligence and automated workflows, the platform helps healthcare teams detect and respond to threats faster and more accurately.
• Accelerated Time-to-Value: With its pre-configured features, the platform significantly reduces the time it takes to operationalize threat intelligence, allowing healthcare organizations to act on threats immediately.
• Improved Compliance: The platform helps healthcare organizations maintain compliance with industry regulations by identifying and mitigating risks before they escalate into major issues.
• Reduced Attack Surface: By operationalizing healthcare-specific threat intelligence, the platform is designed to reduce the attack surface across healthcare networks, helping to protect everything from endpoints to connected medical devices.

Summing it up

Cyware’s Healthcare Threat Intelligence Platform marks a significant leap forward in how healthcare organizations approach cybersecurity. By offering industry-specific intelligence and automating complex processes, the platform helps healthcare teams focus on proactive defense rather than reactive measures. It simplifies threat management, streamlines compliance efforts, and equips organizations to face evolving security challenges with confidence. As cyber threats grow more sophisticated, the Healthcare TIP ensures that healthcare providers can stay ahead, keeping their systems resilient and their critical operations secure.
