Protecting Healthcare Organizations Through Deception Technology: A Webinar with Trinity Health

Watch Now

The healthcare industry is no stranger to the escalating variety of cyber threats. From significant financial losses and organizational reputational damage to the dire implications for individuals whose data is compromised, cyberattacks represent a complex blend of challenges. Acknowledging this harsh reality, healthcare leaders are stepping up their cybersecurity investments and shaping their strategies to counter both internal and external threat landscapes.

The Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices (HICP) Technical Volume 2, released by the Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council, posits cyber deception as an essential part of a comprehensive security posture, guiding how Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDOs) can implement cyber deception techniques like honeypots, honeytokens, and other decoys to strengthen their defense strategy

Several government standards organizations require or recommend active defense and deception, including

  • The 2023 National Defense Authorization Act
  • NIST SP 800-172,
  • The CISA 2022 – 2026 Strategic Technology Roadmap

Without relying on signatures or agents, a blend of deceptions – decoys, breadcrumbs and baits detect and derail attacks.
Identity Darker
Identity-driven attacks and data exfiltration
Identity honeytokens detect identity-driven attacks with precision and strengthen their Zero Trust Architecture.
