The Challenge
The provider’s existing data security framework was inadequate for combating the increasingly common sophisticated ransomware attacks prevalent in the healthcare sector. These threats not only put sensitive patient information at risk but also exposed the provider to significant regulatory penalties and damage to its professional reputation.
The Solution
Capaciteam implemented a comprehensive vulnerability management program that included regular system assessments, the patching of identified vulnerabilities, and the deployment of advanced ransomware detection and mitigation tools. Parallel to these technical measures, an extensive employee training program was introduced to enhance awareness of cybersecurity best practices and the specific threats associated with ransomware. The project team included a project manager, three cybersecurity analysts, two compliance officers, and two training coordinators.
