1. People Having the right people can be the difference between making it or not. It doesn’t necessarily mean hiring an entire security department. Sometimes, all it needs is a consultant to help provide guidance and steer towards best security practices to ensure security is built right from the beginning. 2. Technology IT Security technologies have come a long way in the last decade. While the constant news cycle may feel like things are getting worse, we actually see more attacks that focus on attacking humans through phishing, or compromises through third parties. Therefore, it makes sense to invest broadly in technologies that offer a broader set of capabilities. These be more affordable, not just to buy, but to maintain on an ongoing basis. 3. Outsourcing In today’s age of the cloud and service providers, for many cases it doesn’t make sense keeping everything in-house. Securing the services of a reputable MSSP can take away the need to run your own security operation center. Or having a PR agency on a retainer can help smooth over any incidents that need reporting. 4. Insurance Finally, where risk can’t be mitigated or accepted, consider transferring it to an insurance provider. Not only can insurance help alleviate the financial cost of a breach, but it can a long way in demonstrating to customers, shareholders, or partners that insurance was part of a broad cyber security plan to keep data secure.

Better, Faster, Cheaper: Changing the Economics of Responding to Cyber Attacks in the Healthcare Sector By John Attala, Director, North America, Endace The healthcare sector has been and continues to be under attack. As long as malicious criminals and hackers have the upper hand in agility, healthcare organizations, frequently under-resourced, face a never-ending struggle to defend themselves and their data. Hardware appliances constitute the majority of security solutions required to defend healthcare companies from cyber-attacks. They are expensive to buy and maintain—and can become obsolete before being fully depreciated. The result is that NetOps and SecOps teams are habitually stuck with outdated security solutions during what is often a time-intensive upgrade or replacement process. Getting approval, raising budget, evaluating vendors, running proof-ofconcept tests, deploying and configuring new solutions can often take months or years. Cyber thieves don’t have the same constraints, often using their victims’ own infrastructure to attack them. For a healthcare organization to be truly agile and able to respond more quickly and more effectively to attacks, it must be able to move beyond hardware-based security solutions. A common platform that allows security analytics solutions to be deployed as virtualized applications removes dependence on specific hardware and allows agile deployment of new functionality as needs evolve. Virtualizing security functions has the potential to deliver the same benefits that virtualization has delivered in the data center, removing the overhead of managing huge numbers of individual, hardware-based servers and making deployment inexpensive, fast, and relatively easy. Healthcare security teams face another challenge: the challenge of dealing with a flood of security alerts that their security tools raise. The sheer number of security alerts, and the time it takes to triage, prioritize and investigate each alert is overwhelming. Research from McAfee states that 93% organizations can’t adequately triage relevant threats and are unable to sufficiently investigate 23% of the alerts that are raised. The fact is, investigations simply take too long. Traditional investigation methods involve a slow, cumbersome, and often inconclusive, process of collecting and collating evidence from multiple
