Florida International University adds new
services to build on existing program
CynergisTek, (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leading cybersecurity firm
helping healthcare organizations navigate emerging security and
privacy issues, focusing on creating true partnerships, today
announced an expanded relationship with Florida International
University (FIU), located in Miami, FL. FIU has renewed its 3-year
managed services contract to build out its existing program adding
validation, exercise and medical device security support.
In 2021, CynergisTek announced Resilience Validation™, an
updated approach to its partnership model designed to give clients
additional tools to prepare and rehearse for cyber-attacks, and
continually validate the effectiveness of their people, processes,
and technology. CynergisTek’s managed services help clients meet
their short and long-term goals by performing an annual risk
assessment to identify gaps and dependent upon the findings and the
organization’s objectives, the company’s advisory and validation
services are introduced to help organizations improve their
cyber-readiness. In CynergisTek’s 2021 annual state of healthcare
security and privacy report, organizations who consistently perform
annual risk assessments, dedicate budget and resources, and
prioritize high risk vulnerabilities have continually improved year
over year and scored higher against NIST CSF conformance than those
institutions that don’t.
“We partnered with CynergisTek in 2018 and over the past few
years their team has delivered real world value that has armed our
organization with the insight, framework, and expertise to focus on
maturing our security program,” said Helve Longoria, Chief
Information Security Officer at Florida International University.
Ms. Longoria continues, “The world faced many challenges in 2020
due to the pandemic with moving to remote work, an increase in
ransomware attacks, and a constantly changing threat landscape, and
having CynergisTek’s partnership helping navigate the day to day
while working to improve our program was invaluable. We look
forward to implementing security validation into our program.”
“Security has evolved and so have our clients’ needs.
Introducing Resilience Validation™ helps our long-standing clients
build resilience into their program by practicing for a potential
attack and validating that what they have in place is working as
expected. We are truly honored to continue supporting FIU as a true
partner and providing the solutions and expertise that meet their
needs today and in the future,” said Mac McMillan, CEO and
President at CynergisTek.
