Cybereason and Cerner Work to Help Health Care Organizations Face Growing Cybersecurity Threat

Dec 4, 2019

Cybereason, creators of the leading Cyber Defense Platform, and Cerner Corporation (NASDAQ: CERN), a global health platform and innovation company, today announced their intent to work together on cybersecurity efforts that address digital threats and vulnerabilities in health care.

Together, the two companies will help health care organizations simplify complex cybersecurity infrastructure within their organizations. Additionally, clients will have access to Cybereason’s continually vetted solution that operates in tandem with the Cerner platforms and solutions that help run their organization. The two companies also plan to establish a go-to-market strategy to provide remediation efforts for incidents uncovered through Cerner’s cyber consulting advisory services.

“Today our clients deliver care in a connected and digital way, a revolution that has contributed to safer and more efficient care. With these technological advancements, it’s essential that every health system have robust digital security strategies,” said Jay Savaiano, Senior Director, Security Solutions, Cerner. “The goal of our work with Cybereason is to help our clients minimize some of the complexity associated with enterprise security, while building their defenses, so that they can continue to prepare for future advancements and innovations that come next in care delivery.”

Over the past decade, nearly the entire U.S. health care industry has become digitized, including electronic health records, connected medical devices and health system operations. This trend, combined with a continued increase in IT security risks, has left health care organizations working to better secure their systems, devices and data. Together, Cybereason and Cerner will share knowledge and expertise to offer solutions and services designed to help clients better face growing dangers, block attacks and keep networks secure.

“Cybereason is thrilled to work with the global powerhouse Cerner and we look forward to helping joint customers face the constant cyber threat,” said Joe O’Donnell, Vice President of Americas Channel, Cybereason. “Connecting with Cerner’s extensive health care network will support Cybereason in expanding its footprint with leading health care institutions.”
