Minneapolis, MN based health system determines
managed service will help identify and address security risks
CynergisTek (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leading cybersecurity firm
helping more than 1,000 healthcare facilities navigate emerging
security and privacy issues, today announced that Fairview Health
Services, one of Minnesota’s largest health systems, has joined the
growing CTEK managed services client base.
During the managed service engagement, CynergisTek will perform
periodic and recurring comprehensive risk assessments and provide
advisory services supporting remediation efforts.
“We looked to CynergisTek to help us identify and reduce risk
because their methodology adds in a human layer and skillset that
we believe will aid us in building and maintaining a strong cyber
resilient program,” says James Brady, Chief Information Security
Officer and Vice President of Infrastructure for Fairview Health
Services.
In CynergisTek’s third annual report, Moving Forward: Setting
the Direction, it identified that organizations who have invested
resources, time and money into security show year-over-year
improvement in their NIST CSF scores. Through CynergisTek’s managed
services program, clients have the foundation to implement a
three-year plan to keep improving and maturing their security
program while maintaining a predictable year-over-year budget.
“We are delighted to have Fairview Health Services as a new
CynergisTek client. The momentum we’re seeing from some of the
largest health systems joining the CTEK family in a time when
COVID-19 has disrupted the industry is a testament to our
reputation and the expertise of our people,” said Caleb Barlow, CEO
and president at CynergisTek. Mr. Barlow went on to say “This
recent signing coupled with the Valley Health System release we
made last week is a positive sign that healthcare is trending to
the next normal – the necessity to validate security effectiveness
in a time when employees are working from home, the expansion of
the network and its complexity has increased along with the brazen
targeting from malicious hackers, like we saw in the recent
Universal Health System ransomware attack, are no longer giving
healthcare a reprieve.”
