Expanded partnership highlights CynergisTek’s
growth of its vast cybersecurity managed service client base
CynergisTek (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leading cybersecurity firm
helping more than 1,000 healthcare facilities navigate emerging
security and privacy issues, today announced a nearly $1 million
contract extension of its strategic partnership with the University
of California, Irvine Medical Center, which will fund crucial
expanded services for the healthcare institution at a time when
research organizations are in dire need of vital protection and
security.
CynergisTek and the University of California, Irvine (UCI)
Medical Center are continuing their joint mission of keeping the
institution’s patients, employees, and network infrastructure safe
and secure. UCI Medical Center’s expanded program includes
CynergisTek’s leading validation services, which provides
confirmation that processes, technology, and the employees that
utilize them are all working effectively. By doing so, UCI Medical
Center can develop and implement impenetrable defense strategies by
understanding their offensive strategies at the very start while
providing the ability to demonstrate a solid ROI of their security
investment.
“Healthcare organizations everywhere are facing new obstacles at
every turn. Our partnership with CynergisTek provides a stable and
secure foundation that we can rely on – we know that they are
dedicated to fully protecting us from dangerous cybercriminals
looking to cause disruption,” said Scott Joslyn, Chief Information
Security Officer, UCI Medical Center. “Our patients are our number
one priority, and we are confident that CynergisTek will protect
them at all costs.”
A recent CynergisTek report stated that organizations that have
invested in security-focused resources show year-over-year
improvement in their NIST CSF scores. Leveraging CynergisTek’s
managed services program, organizations like UCI Medical Center
have the foundation to implement successful strategic plans and can
continue enhancing their security program while maintaining a
predictable year over year budget.
“The UCI Medical Center team sees the value in building a strong
foundation to prevent attacks before they occur, and we’re excited
to continue our journey in helping them build a world-class
security program,” said Caleb Barlow, CEO and president of
CynergisTek. “This partnership expresses their commitment in
continuing progress as we head into a new year that is bound to be
rife with cybercrime and ruthless fraudsters, and we’re prepared to
work together to ensure UCI Medical Center remains one step ahead
of cybercriminals.”
