Health Network Relies on CyberArk to Prioritize
Privileged Access Management Across Expanding IT and Vendor
Identities While Addressing Cyber Insurance Requirements
CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), the identity security company, today
announced that Indiana University Health (IU Health) has expanded
its use of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform to fortify
cybersecurity protocols, strengthen incident response and reduce
cyber insurance costs by prioritizing privileged access management
(PAM).
IU Health is Indiana’s largest network of physicians comprising
more than 38,000 team members serving over 1.2 million individuals
across the state. Like many healthcare organizations, the threat of
targeted cyber attacks remains a real and constantly evolving risk.
The CyberArk Identity Security Threat Landscape Report found that
97% of healthcare organizations indicated they were targeted by at
least one ransomware attack over the previous 12 months, the most
of any sector.
“Like many healthcare organizations, we were feeling the
increasing financial and compliance pressure of cyberattacks. IU
Health needed to secure both our IT team and our vendors – as well
as satisfy cyber insurance requirements,” said Colby Arnold, vice
president of infrastructure and cybersecurity operations at IU
Health. “We took action by evolving our security tech stack and
proactively improving identity security controls with CyberArk. We
have now doubled our CyberArk PAM footprint to enable us to
securely build and scale in a heightened threat environment.”
IU Health initially deployed CyberArk Privileged Access Manager
(PAM), part of the CyberArk Identity Security Platform, for
managing and securing IT administrator accounts and sensitive
access for its SOC team. The expanded implementation now focuses on
locking down third-party risk across its vendor ecosystem by
securing vendor access and service accounts and meeting emerging
audit and compliance requirements. With CyberArk PAM, IU Health can
better manage the expanding number of privileged credentials across
its network and isolate and monitor sessions to detect and respond
to threats.
“When we first connected with IU Health, its team quickly
understood the importance of taking an identity security-first
approach when protecting high risk users and software
applications,” said Matt Cohen, CEO, CyberArk. “As IU Health
properly recognized, the threat landscape has evolved and is
growing at an alarming rate with new identities, new environments
and new attack methods being leveraged by malicious actors every
day. In fact, last years 90 percent of organizations experienced at
least one identity-related incident. By securing every identity
with the right level of privilege controls and just in time access,
we are helping IU Health not only immediately meet security and
compliance goals, but we are also establishing a framework that
paves the way for long term growth.”
Centered on intelligent privilege controls, the CyberArk
Identity Security Platform seamlessly secures human and machine
identities accessing workloads from hybrid to multi-cloud, and
flexibly automates the identity lifecycle all with continuous
threat detection and prevention – protecting organizations’
identities and most critical assets by enabling Zero Trust and
enforcing least privilege.
