Multi-Signal Managed Detection and Response for Healthcare Delivery Organizations

Preventing critical operational disruption with 24/7 protection from ransomware, business email compromise, system exploitation and insider threats.

The widespread reliance on the cloud and the use of electronic health records by healthcare providers such as patient clinics, hospitals, and business associates has turned healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) into prime targets for cyberattacks.

In addition, third-party exposure, flexible access to patient care, human error, legacy operating systems, and the increasing adoption of internet-connected medical devices and other healthcare IoT (HIoT or IoMT), are all contributing factors to an ever-expanding attack surface that must be defended.

Skilled adversaries now target the healthcare sector over others due to the nature of the data that HDOs have access to–patients’ electronic protected health information (ePHI).

In recent years, the severity of cyberattacks, along with how fast cybercriminals can breach the perimeter to exfiltrate healthcare data, means that your security team must be able to minimize attacker dwell time and reduce the overall scope of the damage. This means prioritizing the speed of your response–how fast your team can identify, contain, and respond to a cyber threat becomes crucial in limiting operational disruption.

Healthcare attack timeframes to breach the perimeter and exfiltrate data

As healthcare breaches continue to make national headlines, many HDOs are outsourcing their cybersecurity needs to a Managed Detection and Response (MDR) provider that can protect their patients and critical business operations with 24/7 threat detection, investigation, and response.

Introducing eSentire

We are recognized globally as the Authority in Managed Detection and Response because we hunt, investigate, and stop known and unknown cyber threats before they become business disrupting events. We were founded in 2001 to secure the environments of the world’s most targeted industry—financial services. Over the last two decades we have scaled our cybersecurity services offering to hunt and disrupt threats across every industry on a global scale. With two 24/7 Security Operations Centers (SOCs), hundreds of cyber experts, and 2000+ customers across 80+ countries, we have scaled to deliver cybersecurity services across highly regulated industries with a proven track record of success in securing businesses across the healthcare sector including healthcare institutions, medical technology providers, and pharmaceutical companies.

At eSentire, we go beyond the market’s capability in threat response and specifically address cybersecurity risks for the manufacturing sector. eSentire’s multi-signal MDR approach ingests endpoint, network, log, cloud, asset and vulnerability data that enables complete attack surface visibility. Enriched detections from the eSentire Threat Response Unit are applied to captured data identifying known & unknown threats including suspicious activity and zero-day attacks. With two 24/7 Security Operations Centers staffed with cyber experts and Elite Threat Hunters, an industry-leading XDR Cloud Platform, and refined security operations processes, eSentire can detect and respond to cybersecurity threats in the manufacturing industry with a Mean Time to Contain of 15 minutes.

At eSentire, We Support Healthcare Delivery Organizations By:

• Supporting patient care with secure services including 24/7 threat detection, investigation and complete response
• Protecting and preventing healthcare organizations from operational disruption caused by ransomware gangs and state-sponsored actors
• Securing patients’ electronic protected health information (ePHI)
• Mitigating third-party risk and supply chain risk
• Ensuring you and your business associates meet HIPAA Security compliance requirements

Our global 24/7 SOCs have discovered instances of ransomware gangs targeting our healthcare customers and have interrupted their activities before they could establish a foothold by:

• Using endpoint to prevent the disabling of defenses
• Detecting malicious administrative activity through remote access tools using proprietary machine learning algorithms
• Blocking active attempts to deploy credential collection tools, malware payloaders and even multiple ransomware attacks

Whether your organization’s assets are stored in the cloud, on-premise, or in a hybrid environment, we have the visibility to see what other MDR providers miss.

As cyber threats increase, our Threat Response Unit (TRU) and 24/7 SOCs have developed extensive experience with the vulnerabilities, advanced persistent threats, and TTPs that impact the healthcare industry. By understanding your environment and attack surface, we develop specific detections across our Atlas XDR Cloud platform that filter out noise and identify high priority security events before they can impact your business. High fidelity threats are automatically blocked and suspicious activity requiring human investigation is summarized, enriched and shared with our 24/7 SOC Analysts and Elite Threat Hunters for assessment and manual containment with a Mean Time to Contain of 15 minutes.
