Temple Health

Temple Health faced significant cybersecurity challenges with a focus on third-party risks. The Philadelphia-based healthcare organization, under scrutiny by CISO Hugo Lai, was grappling with potential breaches from partners like Change Healthcare, EHR vendors like Epic or Cerner, and prescription services like Surescripts. The risk extended to service outages impacting patient care operations, evoking the need for backup plans and a comprehensive security approach, including advanced strategies such as auditing of backups, behavioral monitoring, network micro-segmentation, and SOCs engagement. The consequences of a potential breach could be severe, risking sensitive patient data and critical healthcare services.
