First and foremost, your organization’s primary task is to provide exceptional care to patients. However, it’s also your legal duty to protect and secure sensitive patient data and information with modern security protocols.
This means maintaining a secure network, managing risks, and regularly testing your network for any vulnerabilities. Cytek’s Penetration Testing for medical and dental practices identifies these vulnerabilities before cybercriminals can discover and exploit them.
Why Is It Important for Medical Practices to Do Penetration Testing?
Every healthcare organization must comply with HIPAA by protecting its patients’ electronic health information (ePHI) through administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
Through comprehensive penetration testing, the expert team at Cytek identifies any potential weaknesses within your system and attempts to exploit them as a cybercriminal would.
This approach can identify, document, and mitigate any vulnerabilities that may put your practice’s information at risk.
What is Being Tested and Analyzed?
At Cytek, our penetration testing experts look for potential weaknesses within your security infrastructure, including its network, systems, hosts, applications, and more. More specifically, we often test and look for common security gaps such as:
Weak Credentials
Security Misconfigurations
Outdated Systems
Poor Encryption
Firewalls Bypasses
Open Ports
Misconfigured Proxy Servers
Depending on your specific needs, we test various network components and use several attack methods to identify potential security vulnerabilities.
