Healthcare Organizations Lack Tools for Cyber Situational Awareness and Threat Assessment
1. Healthcare Organizations Lack Tools for Cyber Situational
Awareness and Threat Assessment
FRISCO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST) has
completed a three-month review of its approach to cyber risk management for the healthcare
industry. The effort was focused on understanding the challenges of healthcare organizations across
varying levels of information protection maturity. The review also focused on identifying approaches
and solutions to effectively and practically mitigate and defend against cyber threats and risks. The
analysis uncovered a constant theme: that today's approach to cybersecurity is predominantly
reactive and, for the vast majority of organizations, inefficient and labor-intensive.
The analysis also illuminated the fact that, although organizations are increasingly utilizing threat
indicators and other threat intelligence, they are doing so without understanding the relevance to
their organization. In addition, most organizations are still unable to understand the effectiveness of
deployed information security products, especially in relation to emerging cyber threats.
In response, HITRUST announced today a new component of its cyber risk strategy. HITRUST
CyberVision is the first real-time situational awareness and threat assessment tool tailored to the
healthcare industry.
Specific findings from the review include:
Organizations consistently identified a lack of awareness of emerging cyber threats, especially
previously unseen attacks, as a key concern. Organizations almost universally acknowledged they
had minimal understanding as to the impact of cyber threats on their current cyber security
products and the unique applications, systems and devices they protect. This lack of awareness leads
many organizations to expend resources and rely heavily on indicators of compromise (IOCs) to
determine if a breach or other suspicious cyber activity has already occurred while simultaneously
updating rules and policies to block the IOCs. Although valuable, this approach is retrospective in
nature and introduces inefficiencies.
Organizations lack understanding as to the effectiveness of the multitude of products deployed in
their environments and lack the ability to communicate, especially to senior management, the
effectiveness of their security measures against the probable cyber threat landscape.
The review concluded that, to enable a better understanding of the emerging threat landscape and
the impact on organizational-specific cyber security defenses, a new approach needs to be deployed
and new tools developed. This fundamental shift requires a more proactive model where
organizations have real-time situational awareness or insights into emerging cyber threats. The shift
also requires the ability to understand the impact of emerging threats on an organization's specific
environment, including layered information security products deployed with custom configurations,
as well as industry-specific applications, such as electronic health records (EHRs). This new
approach allows organizations to assess the cyber threats relevant to their unique environment
down to the applications and system level, so they can use their resources to mitigate the one-to-two
percent of the cyber threats that are relevant rather than chasing the 98 percent that aren't.
"Although we have made good progress in maturing our cyber risk management approach for
industry, with significant improvements in information sharing, the real opportunity is to understand
the emerging threats and model them against organization-specific defenses, configurations and
2. applications," said Daniel Nutkis, chief executive officer, HITRUST. "HITRUST CyberVision will also
allow us to better engage with the vendor community to improve product effectiveness."
Key Requirements for Real-Time Cyber Situational Awareness and Effective Threat Assessment
HITRUST established a comprehensive set of requirements for a service that would address the
needs of industry and augment the current reactive approaches with one of proactive insights, by
delivering key capabilities:
1. Visibility into an extensive degree of current and emerging cyber threats, including previous
unseen.
2. Ability to evaluate the impact of these cyber threats against the actual security products -
network, server and end point - currently installed in an organization's environment.
3. Ability to implement multiple configurations per security product and evaluate against default and
various tuned configurations, including organization-specific configurations and unique applications.
4. Ability to evaluate the effectives of various combinations of multiple security products and
benchmark over time.
5. Ability to evaluate and assess the risks within minutes of identifying the cyber threat and notifying
those affected, based on the products and applications they have deployed.
6. Ability to incorporate healthcare-specific applications, such as EHRs, computer control
applications for medical devices, and organization-specific applications into the evaluation.
7. Ability to create best practices product configurations including by application.
8. Ability to feed threat intelligence and knowledge about which threats are bypassing current
countermeasures and security products into the HITRUST Cyber Threat Exchange, allowing for
prioritization of resources.
HITRUST CyberVision Enhances Effective Cyber Risk Management
HITRUST met with information security leaders, technology companies, researchers and other
3. thought leaders to identify possible partners and approaches to address these needs. After a detailed
analysis, HITRUST has partnered with NSS Labs, the leader in cyber security research and testing,
to deliver key capabilities for the HITRUST CyberVision service.
"NSS is pleased to provide the technology powering HITRUST CyberVision. In order to accurately
test the world's leading security products, NSS developed the unique real-time capability of
determining which exploits cyber threat actors are using, and more importantly which bypass
security products. With HITRUST we are extending our technology to cover healthcare-specific
systems and applications," said Vikram Phatak, chief executive officer, NSS Labs.
Last year, HITRUST announced the Cyber Threat XChange (CTX) in order to overcome the obstacles
for organizations unable to consume and take action on the threat indicators that HITRUST was
distributing through its cyber center. The CTX takes this process one step further by automating and
simplifying the exchange of IOCs and making them actionable and consumable. Now HITRUST
CyberVision makes the HITRUST CTX even more efficient as it can automatically notify healthcare
organizations and information security vendors of the emerging cyber threats for which a counter
measure is not available, before the exploit has been weaponized.
CyberVision also enhances the effectiveness of the other HITRUST Cyber Threat Intelligence and
Incident Coordination Center (C3) programs including the Monthly Threat Briefings and the
CyberRX attack simulation exercise series. By adding situational awareness and threat assessment
capabilities to the HITRUST C3, organizations now have the needed tools for effective Cyber Risk
Management.
Industry Support
"HITRUST CyberVision is positioned to drastically improve the situational awareness relating to
cyber threats specific to each organization's environment, and allow more strategic and proactive
approaches," said Cris Ewell, chief information security officer, Seattle Children's Hospital. "Small
and large organizations can then integrate the information into their information security risk
program to see real benefits."
"The current model of cyber defense relies heavily on a retrospective approach, utilizing IOCs to
determine if a breach has already occurred while blocking them from coming in possibly again,
which does not focus resources on high priority gaps," said Jeff Schilling, chief security officer,
FireHost.
"Approaching your security posture with prevention as a key priority can make it extremely difficult
for adversaries to compromise your organization. Applying analysis and automation capabilities,
sharing threat intelligence and treating cybersecurity like a continuous and evolving process - not
something that you do once and walk away - are good practices that can help healthcare
organizations' more proactively prevent and protect against cyber threats," said Rick Howard, CSO
at Palo Alto Networks.
"We get our annual flu shot to protect against viruses that may or may not impact us. In security, we
apply products like vaccines, to achieve defense in depth protection against unknown attacks. With
this service, HITRUST takes it one step further," said Wael Mohamed, chief operating officer, Trend
Micro. "HITRUST will help healthcare organizations understand if they are being targeted and if
their systems are prepared to defend against the attack. It is like personalized medicine for our
enterprise networks and we are pleased to be part of this visionary approach to cybersecurity."
4. "Fortinet supports HITRUST's initiative to be more proactive when it comes to detection and
assessment of zero day and other previously unknown exploits within the Healthcare Industry. The
security industry as a whole spends too much money marketing the next gimmick and not enough
resources testing the effectiveness of their products with organizations such as NSS," said John
Maddison, vice president of marketing and products, Fortinet. "We welcome the chance to take part
and contribute in this initiative."
HITRUST has also been invited to testify at the House Committee on Government Reform,
Subcommittee on Information Technology hearing titled "Cybersecurity: The Evolving Nature of the
Cyber Threat Facing the Private Sector" on Thursday, March 5th. HITRUST looks forward to
discussing this new capability and to present its new model for cybersecurity risk management with
Chairman Hurd and Congressional leaders. To read the testimony and watch the live broadcasting
