CloudWave Announces Commitment to Growing Global Cybersecurity Success during Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2023
Now in its 20th year, Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2023 is highlighting the increasing importance of cybersecurity in our daily lives and encouraging individuals and businesses to take important cybersecurity steps to stay safe online
Marlborough, MA (October 2, 2023) – CloudWave, the expert in healthcare data security, today announced its commitment to cybersecurity education by participating in the 20th Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Founded in 2004, Cybersecurity Awareness Month, held each October, is the world’s foremost initiative to promote cybersecurity awareness and best practices. Cybersecurity Awareness Month is a collaborative effort among businesses, government agencies, colleges and universities, associations, nonprofit organizations, tribal communities, and individuals committed to educating others on online safety.
CloudWave, the largest independent cloud and managed EHR hosting provider in healthcare, has been delivering secure IT services to the healthcare market via the cloud for more than a decade. As cybercriminals increasingly target healthcare organizations, CloudWave provides a level of security unique in the healthcare industry by enabling hospitals to implement a fully managed cybersecurity program, resulting in full HIPAA and NIST compliance, with end-to-end service and support from a single provider.
The company’s Sensato Cybersecurity suite combines the ability to comply with best practices and regulations, detect threats, and respond to cybersecurity incidents in a fully integrated and easy-to-deploy holistic platform. Furthermore, CloudWave’s OpSus managed cloud services are built to exceed all security and compliance requirements for healthcare. The company’s Cybersecurity Tactical Operations Center (CTOC) employs a unique tactical approach to cybersecurity with continuous monitoring by cybersecurity analysts while incorporating machine learning. Blending cybersecurity and cloud service delivery operations into a single extended healthcare ecosystem, spanning public cloud, private cloud, and on-premises healthcare technology environments, is unprecedented and provides customers with a seamless, enhanced experience.
While the evolution of technology accelerates, cybercriminals are working just as hard to find ways to compromise technology and disrupt personal and business lives. For 20 years and counting, Cybersecurity Awareness Month aims to highlight some of the emerging challenges in the cybersecurity world today and provide straightforward, actionable guidance that anyone can follow to create a safe and secure digital world for themselves and their loved ones.
Starting this year, the new theme of Cybersecurity Awareness Month is Secure Our World, with the main messaging revolving around four key cybersecurity best practices:
- Use of strong passwords and understanding the benefits of using a password manager and dispelling existing myths around password manager security and ease of use.
- Turning on multifactor authentication on personal devices and business applications.
- Recognizing and reporting phishing – still one of the primary threat actions cybercriminals use today.
- Installing updates regularly and turning on automated updates.
Cybersecurity Awareness Month continues to build momentum and impact to provide everyone with the information they need to stay safer and more secure online. CloudWave is proud to be a Cybersecurity Awareness Month partner to support this far-reaching online safety awareness and education initiative co-managed by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the National Cybersecurity Alliance.
To kick off this year’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, CloudWave introduced its new Artificial Intelligence Security and Privacy Policy Template, a first-of-its-kind set of comprehensive policies and procedures designed to guide implementation and management of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in healthcare settings. As healthcare organizations aim to adopt AI at scale, there is an urgent need for standardized frameworks to govern the ethical, technical, and legal aspects of AI implementation. The customizable framework is designed to serve as a flexible starting point for organizations. It outlines policies and procedures focused on implementing, governance, and risk management of AI technologies within healthcare settings.
Additionally, CloudWave is inviting professionals at hospitals and healthcare organizations to join the Cybersecurity Insider Program, an exclusive new community dedicated to protecting patients at the intersection of healthcare and cybersecurity. The Cybersecurity Insider Program offers members a deep dive into the latest cybersecurity trends and threats and provides ongoing education to help healthcare organizations protect patients and safeguard against cyberattacks.
