An Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solution that serves as the central security operations platform. It collects data from various security tools for advanced AI-driven correlation and analysis, enhancing threat detection by identifying threats that may bypass individual security tools. Omni-Command simplifies security operations through a unified approach and automation to reduce manual effort. The integration of Generative AI via Sangfor Security GPT further streamlines operations with autonomous workflows and actionable insights.
Ransomware Protection Solutions for the Healthcare Industry
The healthcare industry provides critical and life-saving services to the general public. However, these priority systems also make the sector a popular target for cybercriminals orchestrating ransomware attacks. Ransomware attacks can easily disrupt operations, delay care, and force systems offline. This puts strain on these institutions to resume operations quickly – often pushing them to pay the ransom amount without a fight.
With such large amounts of confidential data processing taking place, hackers are also more likely to target healthcare facilities to exfiltrate and sell personal data. This can lead to potential identity theft, financial fraud, and privacy violations. Companies can also face legal consequences for failing to protect patient data according to local compliance regulations.
Healthcare organizations will often fail to prevent or detect ransomware attacks in time due to outdated infrastructure, budget restraints, and a lack of expertise. Hackers will leverage these vulnerabilities to conduct their attacks. Ransomware attacks also tend to target third-party vendors and supply chains to cause a wider range of disruptions and delays.

Solution Components
Endpoint Secure
An Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) that combines Antivirus and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) capabilities. Deployed on workstations, servers, and virtual environments, it protects against endpoint-based threats, including malware and suspicious hacking activities. Endpoint Secure features dedicated ransomware protection, including AI-driven behavioral detection engines, a ransomware honeypot, and ransomware file recovery, ensuring comprehensive defense against ransomware attacks.
Endpoint Secure feeds data to the XDR platform for correlation analysis, enhancing threat detection and enabling automated response actions.
Network Secure
A Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) with AI-driven threat detection capabilities and a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to protect web applications. To combat ransomware effectively, Network Secure integrates with Endpoint Secure to automatically share the latest threat intelligence, including URLs, files, and domains. This integration provides better visibility and simplifies locating malicious entities. Healthcare facilities with controlled internet access can leverage this feature to mitigate ransomware risks effectively. Network Secure also feeds data to the XDR platform for enhanced threat detection and response.
Internet Access Gateway (IAG)
A Secure Web Gateway (SWG) that offers granular control over internet access, including blocking access to potentially harmful websites and domains. It provides bandwidth management to ensure sufficient bandwidth for critical applications and user authentication to ensure only authorized users gain network access. It also includes data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities to protect against the leakage of sensitive patient data.
Cyber Command & STA
A Network Detection and Response (NDR) solution that analyzes network traffic using AI-driven behavior analysis to detect sophisticated attacks that may bypass endpoint and firewall detection. The Stealth Threat Analytics (STA) sensor mirrors traffic from the core switch for initial analysis. Cyber Command feeds data to the XDR platform for correlation analysis, enhancing threat detection and enabling automated response actions.
Cyber Guardian MDR
A Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service that provides 24/7 security monitoring, threat detection, and response. Staffed by over 400 security experts, it delivers essential, on-demand security resources and expertise to healthcare organizations facing skill shortages and resource constraints. Cyber Guardian MDR ingests security data from integrated devices to enhance threat detection capabilities and offers rapid response to identified threats.
