Security Hardening for Healthcare Systems

I recently worked on a security hardening project for a mid-sized healthcare organization to enhance their security posture and ensure HIPAA compliance.

I began with a comprehensive security assessment, identifying vulnerabilities such as outdated software, weak passwords, and inadequate encryption. Key implementations included advanced firewall configurations, intrusion detection systems, next-gen antivirus, endpoint detection and response solutions, robust encryption for data at rest and in transit, and strict access control policies with multi-factor authentication and role-based access control. I also developed a patch management strategy to keep systems updated.

Additionally, I conducted cybersecurity training for all employees to foster a culture of security awareness.

The project significantly improved the company's cybersecurity posture, protecting patient data, reducing risks, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
