As we are heading towards the end of 2020, we can now tell how crucial TI [threat intelligence] has become to our network security this year. Information sharing and mutual learning via Health-ISAC has made us more knowledgeable and capable to deal with the evolving cyber security challenges.

Wow, I am so pleased to see all of the great resources. Thank you so much for welcoming me and sharing all of the information I needed so clearly. I was able to get on and get everything set.

This is my first Health-ISAC workshop, I really enjoyed it. I would love to attend additional events in EMEA.

Great work! Loved attending and will be back!

Very enjoyable and love the networking elements!

Honestly, this is outstanding. I'm at a loss for words. I'm blown away with Health-ISAC being such an amazing value.

I just want to reiterate how well-done the Health-ISAC summits are. Our team gets a tremendous amount of value out of them and are getting more involved in the working groups.

Health-ISAC membership is perhaps the best investment any healthcare security team can make to receive timely updates on emerging threats and expert guidance from security professionals in healthcare across the world. The 'Community' feature alone is a tremendous resource for gathering best practices for organizations of all sizes with threads ranging from best PAM solutions to secure AI usage.

I met inspiring professionals and sat in many insightful sessions about Shared Responsibility, Business Resilience, and more.

I’m grateful to HEALTH-ISAC for these opportunities to share information, connect, and productively improve the health industry together.

I learned so much in such a short amount of time.

The monthly newsletter is relevant as are the daily updates. I turned off my Infragard subscription as yours is more timely and contains better content.

Threats in the Dark Net were explained in detail and well understood.

It was good to get a lot of information regarding the reality of ransomware attacks.

The Hospital case study was very informative as it vividly conveyed the hardships faced in the field.

Everything with Health-ISAC has been going great. I've been using the secure chat channel, the awareness notifications are a huge help, and I'll be consuming your online content for my CISSP CE credits in the next few days. I can't thank you enough!

A new POC

Real world examples are very helpful; thank you for already including them and not just speaking about what they "may" look like.

I belong to a number of orgs - Health-ISAC is the only monthly presentation that I honestly pay attention to!

Great content and great update! I liked the balance and was very interested in the events and global threats / terrorism.

Absolutely love it, and I cannot imagine managing and protecting our technology resources without this resource.  The contributions from the intelligence community, in real-time, are extremely helpful in strengthening our security posture. 

I had the honor to speak at the very first Health-ISAC workshop of the year hosted by MSD Czech Republic. It was a very enriching experience thanks to the participants from both the Private & Public sectors. My main take away is that by sharing valuable information with each other we all get stronger, and with that we manage to serve our patients better.

We share with each other like friends on the battlefield. My people are using the [Health-ISAC] platforms and technologies to collect and I’m using the [Health-ISAC] reports on what’s going on in the cybersecurity and threat space.

Every hospital C-Suite executive needs to support a good cybersecurity program, which includes training clinical staff on the basics,” said Mark Jarrett, Chairman of the Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council (HSCC). Dr. Jarrett, who is also the former Chief Quality Officer and Deputy Chief Medical Officer for Northwell Health, added “I would advise every hospital system in the country to consider using ‘Cybersecurity for the Clinician’ in their learning management systems.

Our health system has found great value in the Health-ISAC partnership with Perch and are hoping to have the same success with Shared Services. Thanks for soliciting and offering these partnerships to the Health-ISAC community!

I think we’ve done what other industries wish they could do and trust each other in a way where we can be successful collectively. Together. The Health-ISAC [sharing community] has a lot to be thankful for and proud of. We have advanced our industry, advanced our community and put in the work to make sure we are collectively stronger together and that is an amazing feat.

As we are heading towards the end of 2020, we can now tell how crucial TI [threat intelligence] has become to our network security this year. Information sharing and mutual learning via Health-ISAC has made us more knowledgeable and capable to deal with the evolving cyber security challenges.

Every single day I’m getting emails that are important, that matter. We collaborate with our peers to figure out “Hey, what are you doing? Here’s what we’re doing. Does it match up? Can we learn something?” Without Health-ISAC, the [member organizations] would not be in the same defensive posture as they are right now.

"Health-ISAC membership has been an invaluable asset to our cybersecurity program and efforts."

Partnering with Health-ISAC just makes sense. We share a common vision that building a safe and reliable health ecosystem is our collective responsibility and keeps with values of respecting and protecting each other. This partnership should inspire other organizations with skills and capabilities that can contribute to these outcomes to join us,

Really enjoyed the exercise. I think it was good to go through the scenarios and what would be done...Thanks for holding the exercise and all Health-ISAC does for the community.

I thoroughly enjoyed this exercise. This was the first of it’s kind I’ve attended and look forward to participating in more of these exercises. I execute tabletop exercises for our Incident Response team, and this was a great experience for networking, sharing, and really ensuring that the way we approach and respond meets industry standards. I appreciate the perspective of others, and I thought it was great that it was a VERY interactive exercise...

"We are in a rural area so our IT options are very limited which was the main reason I reached out to Health-ISAC,” says Lisa Steinbrueckof Steinbrueck Chiropractic. “I wanted the ability to know if there was a breach quickly, so I could mitigate the consequences right away."

From the moment we joined, it was like flicking on a light switch – we got so much information and it has been invaluable. Health-ISAC really helped us expand our staffing because we have a small intelligence footprint. Not a day goes by that we don’t share into Health-ISAC and work with other members. Threat actors are trying to exploit the pandemic and monetize it in any way they can, so getting information about how that’s happening before it reaches you and your organization is vital and Health-ISAC has done an excellent job at that this year.

The Health-ISAC service has become invaluable to us and delivered value for money almost immediately.

The security workshop was a great learning opportunity. I especially appreciated the professionally diverse crowd from various organizations.

It was an excellent opportunity to learn, network, and participate. Thank you for the invite and time spent with so many individuals working together to help secure their organizations and maintain data integrity along with patient safety.

Very valuable event.

Although we’re not long utilizing the H-ISAC service, it has become invaluable to us and delivered value for money almost immediately and there are a number of aspects we have not explored yet which we plan to do shortly. We’re delighted with the service and plan to become more active participants in 2018.

Working with the Health-ISAC and all the members has been one of my best professional experiences.

[As a member], you get to constantly watch where the puck is headed and know the “gotchas” before the hitting, so it’s great! There has been real growth in the maturity and the open transparency with which the [members] are sharing information.

It’s great to see what you have done with Health-ISAC.

There is a great deal of trust between the members because we are all in this together. It is a race against the adversary, so we need to make sure we get our answers as quickly as possible with the highest level of quality possible.

A speaker at the CHIME conference in San Antonio said in his talk that “his membership fee for Health-ISAC is absurdly low relative to its value."

Health-ISAC is amazing.

The publications, the research, the webinars, and the sharing via the mailing list or WeeSecrets is incredibly helpful and collaborative.

Everyone I’ve dealt with at Health-ISAC has been amazing and the conferences are the best I’ve ever been to.

I really appreciated the gamification elements of the conference. The competitive side of me has enjoyed “the game” and it has been a welcome, fun outlet for me during what has otherwise been a difficult nine months filled with long workdays at home and an absence of the interpersonal opportunities I value so much in the physical workplace. But the real “prizes” that this Summit offers are the extremely valuable sessions presented by very accomplished and knowledgeable peers, and the networking opportunities with vendors and other information security professionals. I am truly grateful that the Summit was available virtually this year, and for all Health-ISAC does for the healthcare infosec community.
