Your organisation’s cyber defences are only as strong as your weakest vulnerability. Cybercriminals are continuously scanning the internet looking for organisations that run software with vulnerabilities, with the aim to infiltrate their systems. Often, these campaigns target healthcare organisations.
As a core requirement in the NIS Directive’s Cyber Assessment Framework, threat intelligence provides vital context into gaps in security posture. This essential security measure highlights weaknesses in your infrastructure configuration and patching and provides direction on where to prioritise. Organisations need to understand all security risks, so they can make swift decisions on where to prioritise resource and justify any disruption.
However, applying patches and remediation is resource intensive. Healthcare organisations already face challenges in resourcing cyber security expertise. As well, managing vulnerabilities is difficult. Knowing they exist, how they affect the organisation and recognising the risk to prioritise remediation are all major challenges for IT teams. In reality, healthcare organisations are left with little time or budget to review the potential ‘back doors’ cybercriminals look for.
The longer a vulnerability is exposed, the more likely it can be used to compromise the organisation. As a result, wider cyber breaches can compromise patient data and the Trust’s ability to provide uninterrupted patient care.
