The Challenge
In the face of growing demand from customers, CyberSecOps needed to expand its security operations. They sought new security operations center (SOC) support in order to expand their managed detection and response (MDR) offering to help customers meet compliance requirements, protect their endpoints and networks and fully resolve incidents at speed. CyberSecOp was looking for a cost-effective, fully-managed solution that would support the rapid growth of its services portfolio. This would replace an offering from a major national enterprise provider.
About The Customer
Cyber Security Operations Consulting (CyberSecOp) is an award-winning independent information security and compliance services provider. CyberSecOp works with global customers across industries ranging from financial services, health care and higher education to aerospace, defense and government contractors. CyberSecOp was founded by leading experts in cybersecurity and managed information technology (IT) services. The firm takes a holistic approach to devising innovative strategies and solutions, believing integrated security frameworks provide stronger and more cohesive protection, and that all businesses need enterprise-grade information security programs. CyberSecOp offers managed security services, including staffing, consulting, security operations support and incident response, as well as breach management and board-level strategic leadership consulting through its virtual chief information security officer (vCISO) program. The company’s vision is to empower its customers to focus on their core business competencies by proving best-of-breed IT and secure business process outsourcing.
The Solution
CyberSecOp partnered with Comodo to take advantage of its unique next-generation SOC-as-a-platform (SOCaaP) offering. The platform is fully integrated with Comodo’s patented auto-containment technology, enabling customers to enjoy benefits from the world’s only active breach protection solution which renders ransomware, malware and other types of cyberattacks useless. It also provides all the SOC capabilities an expanding managed security service provider (MSSP) needs, such as integrating the people, processes and technology essential for threat detection, analysis and active incident response in real time 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Comodo has the only truly comprehensive SOCaaP offering that’s currently available. Relying on this platform-based approach will save MSSP partners time and money, with zero initial capital outlay. It would also give CyberSecOp a competitive advantage in its market. “Occasionally, we have a partnership that our firm can’t survive without,” says Walker. “We are confident that this is the relationship that we’re building with Comodo.” CyberSecOp will also benefit from Comodo’s strong focus on partner relationships. “Our partners and the channel are in our DNA. Comodo is a partner-centric company and our goal is to make sure our MSSP partners and their clients are secure and happy,” says Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Comodo. “Our partners expect the best from us, and this allows us both to take our high standards to the next level.”

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.

Harnessing real-time data to give a holistic picture of patient health
Every day, vast quantities of data are collected about patients as they pass through health service organizations—from operational data such as treatment history and medications to physiological data captured by medical devices. The insights hidden within this treasure trove of data can be used to support more personalized treatments, more accurate diagnosis and more advanced preparative care. But since the information is generated faster than most organizations can consume it, unlocking the power of this big data can be a struggle. This type of predictive approach not only improves patient care—it also helps to reduce costs, because in the healthcare industry, prevention is almost always more cost-effective than treatment. However, collecting, analyzing and presenting these data-streams in a way that clinicians can easily understand can pose a significant technical challenge.
