HITEQ Health Center Cybersecurity Defender Against the Dark Web

Health Centers are being inundated by an unprecedented surge in cybersecurity incidents that are having detrimental effects on healthcare worldwide. New, sophisticated threats seem to appear on a daily basis. Most importantly, these threats are primarily being targeted and spread through end users (vs health IT systems) through social engineering and phishing attack methods. 

Healthcare cybersecurity is the ultimate team sport. The responsibility goes beyond the IT staff and includes front and back office staff, doctors and nurses, patients, executives, and the board of directors. These resources are directed at all levels of the healthcare organization so that they may be proactive and aware and help to defend Health Centers against the Dark Web.

Take some time to read through some of the articles on this page and then fill out the submission form on the right and you will be rewarded with a Health Center Defender Against the Dark Web badge! This is an official badge that is submitted by the HITEQ Center as a proof of completion to the blockchain. Your credentials can be added to profiles such as LinkedIn and verified through accreditation services such as Accredible and Open Badge.

Mobile Device Security: Managing Cloud-based & Hybrid Solutions in Healthcare Settings

A National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence Practice and Resource Guide

In the lab at the NCCoE, part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), we built an environment based on typical mobile devices and an enterprise email, calendaring, and contact management solution. Additionally, we demonstrated how security can be supported throughout the mobile device lifecycle, including:

  • configure a device to be trusted by the organization
  • maintain adequate separation between the organization’s data and the employee’s personal data stored on or accessed from the mobile device
  • handle the de-provisioning of a mobile device that should no longer have enterprise access (e.g., device lost or stolen, employee leaves the company.

The NIST Cybersecurity Practice Guide is available as a draft. For ease of use, the draft guide is available to download or read in volumes
