Borderless CS launches managed cyber security for healthcare
Borderless CS has introduced a range of managed security services tailored for healthcare providers, with a focus on safeguarding digital infrastructure across both private clinics and large hospital networks.
Threat monitoring
The company's managed security services for the sector focus on around-the-clock threat monitoring and detection. This approach aims to identify and neutralise potential cyber threats before they can disrupt healthcare operations. The services also cover incident response and recovery, alongside data loss prevention techniques designed to reduce the impact of data breaches and ensure rapid restoration of critical systems following an attack.
Compliance focus
Ensuring compliance with health data regulations forms a central component of the offering. Borderless CS helps healthcare organisations address key requirements, including HIPAA compliance in the US and the Australian Privacy Principles. This is achieved through regular risk assessments, compliance audits, and policy reviews, ensuring ongoing alignment with legislative frameworks and best practices in data protection.
"Compliance is the backbone of healthcare cybersecurity. Borderless CS helps healthcare institutions meet the strictest regulatory standards," said Himali Dhande, Cybersecurity Operations Lead, Borderless CS
Cloud security
Borderless CS has emphasised the importance of secure cloud operations as more healthcare providers adopt digital solutions. The portfolio includes security for Microsoft 365 and Azure environments, as well as access control, identity management, data backup, and disaster recovery services. These solutions are designed to ensure that patient data handled in the cloud remains secure and resilient against threats or system failures.
Staff training
The company conducts cybersecurity awareness training for healthcare staff, targeting human error as a significant vulnerability in health sector security. The training covers phishing prevention, password management, and safe data handling procedures to strengthen internal defences.
New technologies
Artificial intelligence and machine learning have been integrated into the Borderless CS service offering. The company's security operations centre employs these technologies to continuously monitor and analyse network behaviour, using predictive analytics to detect risks before any incidents can occur.
Incident response
Immediate support is available in the event of a cyberattack. The Borderless CS team works to contain and remove ongoing threats, restore operational capacity, and perform forensic analysis to help healthcare facilities prevent repeat attacks. This incident response process is considered crucial for maintaining patient trust and continuity of services during and after a security incident.
Device security
Securing medical devices and Internet of Things (IoT) systems remains a priority. Borderless CS aims to protect every endpoint connected to hospital networks, including patient monitors and infusion pumps, to ensure these often-overlooked devices are not exploited as entry points for attackers.
Zero-trust model
A zero-trust architecture underpins Borderless CS's approach to healthcare cybersecurity. In this model, access attempts made by users or devices are always verified, regardless of location or status within the organisation. This reduces the likelihood of both internal and external threats leading to a cyber incident.
Case study
In one example, a regional hospital faced ongoing ransomware threats that disrupted clinical operations. Borderless CS services, which included 24/7 monitoring, endpoint protection, and comprehensive staff training, were implemented. This combination resulted in an 80% reduction in incidents within six months, according to the company.
"Borderless CS goes beyond protection - they build confidence in healthcare operations," said Dhande.
