Benefits of Membership

Healthcare represents one of the largest, fastest growing, and most complex industries in the world.  Ensuring patient safety and well-being has resulted in a large, connected environment that includes providers, payers, pharmaceutical companies, medical devices, biotechnology, and healthcare IT solutions.  Due to this connectivity, the high cost of patient data, and potential for ransomware, the health sector is highly susceptible to both cyber and physical attacks.

H-ISAC provides the health sector a trusted community and forum for coordinating, collaborating, and sharing vital threat intelligence and best practices.  Members are able to use this knowledge to strengthen their defenses and minimize the effect of threat actors around the world.

THREAT INTELLIGENCE

With a dedicated staff of analysts, the H-ISAC Security Operations Center (SOC) can serve as your first line of defense against threat actors.  The SOC generates and distributes daily cyber headlines, intelligence reports, cyber vulnerability alerts, physical security threat intelligence, and monthly security threat briefings.

Because sharing threat intelligence is the best way to improve resiliency, members also have the ability to input threat intelligence they are seeing back into our platform, making it more robust for the benefit of all.
