DNS SECURITY
This layer requires Layer 2 and monitors outbound browser destinations against a database of known “bad sites” to limit potential exposure when a user navigates to a bad link – intensionally or unintentionally.
PROFILE & PROTECT
Monitors machines relative to a template profile assigned to each user in order to calculate risk score. It essential magnifies any weakness in the profile as the machine use drifts in and out of compliance so that action can be taken. This layer includes Layers 2 & 3.
DETECT & RESPOND
Monitors machines for suspicious behavior. The Security Operations Center (SOC) attempts to isolate, remediate, and lock down any issue before it spreads. In the event you get to the point of ransomware, should it slip through, recommendations will be made for recovery.
PENETRATION TESTING
We do thorough security assessments, compliance-related testing, and then put all security measures to the ultimate test – Penetration Testing powered by Contextual Security. Also known as ethical hacking, we think like the “bad guys” and attempt to access your servers as a hacker would. We’ll issue a report of our findings and recommendations to fix any vulnerabilities.

Threats to Your Medical Practice from Your Own Technology
Most business owners think nothing will happen to their network.
Until it does.
These are common threats to small businesses that happen every day that can cost tens of thousands of dollars to overcome.
System & Cyber Threats
- System Outage
- Lost Productivity
- Viruses and Spyware
- Ransomware
- Email Interception
Data Theft or Deletion
- Patient records
- Payroll info
- Patient accounts
- Confidential email
- Insurance information
- Clinical trials data
Why Securing Patient Data is so Critical
-
32 million medical records have been breached in the US since 2009
-
Medical records are more detailed than credit records, and contain valuable info for identity thieves
-
Practices can be heavily fined and held liable for security breaches
-
HIPAA requires it
Top Target: Billing & Insurance Data
More valuable to Hackers than Credit Card Data
Your patients’ medical information is worth more than ten times their credit card number on the black market, according to Reuters. Criminals can use the data – such as their name, birth date, policy number, and billing information – for insurance fraud and other scams. This is one reason why billing and insurance information is the most-breached type of data at BAs.
Cyber Attacks on Small Business
According to the 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 58% of cyber attack victims were small businesses because they are easy prey — they don’t put real security measures in place.
