Nationally recognized health system contracts
with CynergisTek to supplement existing staff to complete special
security projects
CynergisTek (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leading cybersecurity firm
helping organizations in highly regulated industries, including
healthcare, navigate emerging security and privacy issues, today
announced a nearly $700,000 professional services agreement with a
new health system. CynergisTek will provide its client, who has
multiple locations, with virtual CISO and cybersecurity analyst
resources to supplement its existing staff.
Market conditions have shifted with remote work, a growing
threat landscape, increased cyberattacks in healthcare by 260%, and
attention from board-level executives with an interest in security,
resulting in more organizations making security projects a priority
in 2021. CynergisTek’s professional services extends a client’s
capabilities with experienced cybersecurity resources to strengthen
their cyber defenses including remediation, strategy, policy and
procedure development, and project management.
“The shortage in skilled cybersecurity professionals plays an
integral role in the demand for our professional services and is
also an indication that the healthcare industry is starting to
address the assault of ransomware attacks it experienced in late
2020. We take pride in finding and retaining best-in-class talent
to support our clients in building and remediating their risk
management, security architecture design and solutions engineering,
vulnerability management, and incident response projects where they
don’t have the resources, knowledge, and time to address growing
risks and cyber threats to its organization,” said Caleb Barlow,
CEO and president at CynergisTek. Mr. Barlow went on to say, “This
is a good sign that organizations who delayed critical
cyber-hygiene activities due to the outbreak of Covid-19 are
starting to reengage third-party consultants in 2021.
