Challenges

Global Cyberattack Threats

The institutional app was a prime target for cyberattacks from various regions worldwide. As the app handled sensitive patient data and critical healthcare operations it was vulnerable to sophisticated cyber threats that could compromise security, disrupt services, or result in data breaches.

Inconsistent Security Practices

The involvement of multiple developers working on different components of the application resulted in inconsistent security practices, increasing the risk of vulnerabilities, and creating weak points that cyber attackers could exploit.

Secure Technology Stack

Fortified the technology stack with regular penetration testing, secure coding practices, and comprehensive Security Posture Management audits, enhancing overall security.

Approach

Strenghtening the Healthcare Operations with A Proactive Cybersecurity Framework

Our Applaudo team of experts tackled the cybersecurity challenges faced by the health authority by developing a comprehensive strategy focused on three key areas. First, recognizing the app's vulnerability to global cyberattacks, we implemented advanced security protocols and threat detection measures to protect sensitive patient data and critical healthcare operations from increasingly sophisticated threats.

Second, we addressed inconsistent security practices by establishing standardized protocols and conducting training to ensure compliance. This approach reduced vulnerabilities and strengthened the overall security posture of the application.

Lastly, our team developed a cohesive security framework to manage the complexities of integrating diverse technologies, including mobile and web applications. By implementing tailored security measures for each technology layer, we ensured comprehensive protection across the entire system, effectively safeguarding the health authority's operations.
