New York Hospitals Face Heightened Cybersecurity Scrutiny

New York State has raised the stakes for hospital cybersecurity with its rigorous new requirements outlined in Section 405.46 of Title 10. These regulations demand a proactive and comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, encompassing everything from risk assessment and vulnerability management to incident response and third-party vendor oversight.

ThreatNG empowers New York hospitals to confidently meet these challenges with an all-in-one external attack surface management, digital risk protection, and security ratings solution. Our platform offers an unparalleled suite of external capabilities, allowing you to effortlessly assess your organization's security posture from an attacker's perspective.

Effortless External Assessments

With ThreatNG, assessing your organization's external security posture is as simple as inputting your domain and organization name. Our powerful engine automatically:

  • Discovers and maps your entire external attack surface, including all internet-facing assets, from websites and subdomains to cloud services and third-party connections.

  • Conducts continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, exposed credentials, and other security risks.

  • Provides actionable insights and prioritized recommendations through comprehensive reports tailored to technical and executive audiences.

How ThreatNG Addresses NYS Cybersecurity Requirements

ThreatNG's comprehensive capabilities directly support New York hospitals in meeting critical requirements of Section 405.46:

  • Risk Assessment (405.46(c)(1) & 405.46(h)(1)): ThreatNG's external attack surface management and digital risk protection capabilities enable hospitals to conduct thorough risk assessments, identifying potential vulnerabilities across their systems, networks, data, and third-party vendors. Our platform continuously monitors for internal and external cybersecurity risks, allowing for proactive mitigation.

  • CISO Support (405.46(e)(1)): ThreatNG enhances the capabilities of CISOs by providing comprehensive investigation and reporting support, streamlining audit and reporting requirements.

  • Vulnerability and Patch Management (405.46(f)): ThreatNG's automated external scanning capabilities ensure that hospitals can proactively identify and address security gaps, reducing their overall risk profile. This includes identifying known vulnerabilities through our Domain Intelligence module.

  • Incident Response and Threat Intelligence (405.46(g)): ThreatNG's threat intelligence capabilities equip hospitals with the tools and information necessary to detect, respond to, and recover from cybersecurity incidents effectively. Our intelligence repositories provide crucial data on dark web activities, compromised credentials, and ransomware events.

  • Third-Party Risk Management (405.46(j)(1)): ThreatNG's ability to assess the security posture of third-party vendors empowers hospitals to enforce minimum cybersecurity standards for their vendors, ensuring a robust and secure ecosystem. Our Domain IntelligenceCloud and SaaS ExposureTechnology Stack modules (for vendor identification), and Supply Chain & Third-Party Exposure assessments achieve this.

  • Identity and Access Management (405.46(k)(1)): ThreatNG's discovery of exposed credentials and cloud misconfigurations helps hospitals ensure that they have strong identity and access management controls in place, protecting against unauthorized access. Our Sensitive Code Exposure module identifies exposed access and cloud credentials within public code repositories.
