Digital Defense, Inc. Named #3 in Cybersecurity Training and #10 in Compliance & Risk Management by Healthcare Specialists, Black Book Market Research
SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (PRWEB) May 16, 2018 -- Digital Defense, Inc., a security platform and services provider, today announced that it has been named as a leading provider in two categories, cybersecurity training and education (#3) and compliance and risk management (#10). See full results here - https://blackbookmarketresearch.com/health-data-security-and-privacy.
Black Book Market Research LLC surveyed over 2,464 security professionals from 680 provider organizations to identify gaps, vulnerabilities and deficiencies that persist in keeping hospitals and physicians proverbial sitting ducks for data breaches and cyberattacks. One frightening statistic uncovered was that - Thirty-two percent of healthcare organizations did not scan for vulnerabilities before an attack.
“HIPAA does not specifically require a penetration test or vulnerability scan. It does, however, require covered entities to perform risk analysis and test security controls – of which vulnerability scanning and penetration testing are integral,” said Larry Hurtado, CEO of Digital Defense, Inc. “Further, NIST has issued a special recommendation for HIPAA that calls for penetration testing of security controls to determine actual vulnerability exposure, as well as the need for deficiency documentation such that appropriate remediation steps can be taken.”
Leveraging the company’s industry recognized and awarded vulnerability scanner, to run scans that don’t interfere with daily business operations, is just one way Digital Defense is helping IT personnel safeguard data. They also got creative and developed an effective and entertaining security awareness program (SecurED®) designed to optimize employee retention of essential security best practices.

• A vulnerability assessment and management solution housed in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud environment.
• A Cyber Threat Management solution that scans the Dark Web and provides actionable threat intelligence to help thwart current or future cyber-attacks.
• A Vulnerability Research Team that continues to uncover critical zero-day vulnerabilities in industry leading technologies.
