WHITE
PLAINS, N.Y., April 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Anatomy IT, the leading platform
for healthcare IT and cybersecurity solutions, today announced the
launch of an expanded end-to-end cybersecurity product suite
designed to safeguard healthcare delivery organizations from
evolving and growing IT system threats.
A record 133 million individuals were affected by healthcare
data breaches in 2023, according to Modern Healthcare, a
number equivalent to nearly 40% of the U.S. population. Industry
observers warn, however, that breaches caused by cyberattacks are
likely to increase in 2024 and beyond. Costs associated with
cybersecurity incidents also continue to climb, reaching an average
of $11 million per data breach in
2023, up 53% from 2020.
In light of recent events and given this growing threat to
patient safety and provider organizations, Anatomy IT is drawing on
its three decades of healthcare operational and cybersecurity
experience, as well as feedback from its more than 1,000 clients,
on this new, broader, forward-looking service offering. The
comprehensive suite of solutions is set to redefine the industry
standard for healthcare-specialized data and systems
protection.
"We recognized a critical need in the market for a cybersecurity
solution that offers both comprehensive protection and
affordability," said Rick Passero,
Anatomy IT's chief information security officer (CISO). "Our goal
is to provide enterprise-class security controls tailored to the
healthcare-delivery market, ensuring that provider organizations of
all sizes can defend against cyber threats cost-effectively and
with a flexible, customizable suite of solutions."
Anatomy IT's Security Suite expansion aligns with the National
Institute of Standard Technology's (NIST) five core functions:
Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, and Recover. This alignment
reaffirms Anatomy IT's commitment to providing its customers with a
comprehensive cybersecurity approach that adheres to world-class
security standards.
This security expansion takes a customized approach based on
client needs. Anatomy IT also will incorporate advisory and
security consulting services as necessary, including adding a
virtual CISO, risk assessments, audits, penetration testing and
vulnerability scanning.
Anatomy IT's expanded Security Suite not only addresses the
growing cybersecurity concerns faced by healthcare organizations,
but also strengthens its approach to incident response and
remediation. With an emphasis on proactive monitoring and rapid
incident resolution, Anatomy IT offers peace of mind to clients,
knowing that their systems are continuously safeguarded by a team
of healthcare cybersecurity specialists. The Security Suite also
supports provider organizations in qualifying for and maintaining
cyber insurance coverage, where policies are becoming more
demanding, restrictive and expensive if proper safeguards are not
in place.
To help identify an organization's cybersecurity needs and
capabilities – and to ensure that services are strategically
designed to achieve a client's goals – Anatomy IT also launched a
proprietary Risk Discovery Tool™ to initiate due diligence. Rooted
in a methodical approach, the Risk Discovery Tool quantifies a
healthcare organization's risk tolerance and posture through a
series of insightful questions that calculate two critical metrics.
The first is Risk Posture Percentage, which reveals the current
security stance and how robustly the organization is equipped to
manage cyber threats. The second metric is Risk Tolerance
Percentage, which gauges the organization's risk comfort level
based on its unique needs, market segment, size, complexity, and
other factors. Utilizing these two scores, the Risk Tolerance Tool
delivers a custom solution recommendation.
"Our commitment to excellence and innovation drives us to
deliver best-in-class cybersecurity solutions to our clients," said
Frank Forte, CEO of Anatomy IT.
"With our end-to-end Security Solution Suite, care delivery
organizations can stay ahead of the curve and mitigate risks
effectively, regardless of their size."
