“Knowing the weakest link in most cyber defense is typically the human element, we’re investing in giving our CE CYBER specialists, managers and technicians the skills necessary to keep our front-line defenses strong against the rapidly increasing number of cyber threats against connected medical devices,” says Jon Benedict, director of solutions management for clinical engineering and information security. “This training will enable them to develop effective security metrics to assess the risk in a provider’s environment and communicate with clients to collaboratively drive compliance.”

CyberVista aims to create a cyber-ready workforce through personalized training programs that provide organizations with the people, knowledge and skills required to defend their most critical assets. Areas of training include computers & networking, inventory management, secure deployment & configuration management, protect & defend, and investigate & analysis―from foundational to expert level.

”TRIMEDX has displayed leadership by embracing its cyber-enabled workforce to arm a wide variety of roles, including its technicians, with the most current cybersecurity knowledge, skills and abilities. By taking innovative action, the TRIMEDX patient-first approach is better equipped to serve the needs of the evolving healthcare industry landscape and securing healthcare providers,” says Jeff Welgan, CyberVista’s head of executive and professional training. “While many organizations around the world are enacting initiatives to increase cybersecurity knowledge across dedicated cybersecurity roles, few organizations have acted on the transformative notion that the responsibility of cybersecurity does not solely fall onto the traditional cybersecurity practitioner themselves but rather to a team of people focused on patient care.”

In addition to this first program implementation, TRIMEDX will also be making CyberVista’s comprehensive Security+, CISM and CISSP certification training courses available to its cyber specialists. Further, TRIMEDX executive leadership will have access to a four-part offering paired with a cyber incident tabletop exercise. These programs are designed to specifically address the unique needs, business behaviors, and potential risks senior executives face.
