Iron Vine is unique—intentionally so. Many firms supporting the healthcare industry include Cybersecurity as one part of a very broad service offering. At Iron Vine, Cybersecurity is all they do. They believe their Cybersecurity focus and mantra of “Driven by Purpose” attracts enthusiasts in the industry who sincerely care about the client’s healthcare mission. This strategy results in happy and respected employees, which produces happy and respected clients.
Iron Vine’s healthcare focus began with a contract with the Millennium Challenge Corporation, which is a federal agency engaged in improving healthcare and infrastructure fordeveloping world countries. Their focus and passion for healthcare continues today, with 85 percent of Iron Vine’s contracts over the past 12 years having supported federal healthcare clients like the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the National Institutes for Health (NIH). Iron Vine’s comprehensive Cybersecurity services include security engineering, Cybersecurity program development, SOC management, cloud infrastructure security, forensics and examinations, network monitoring, penetration testing, malware analysis, and data loss prevention, to name a few.
"For us, it is all about deeply understanding our client's healthcare mission. We know we must balance the needs of the healthcare community to share information and data with the need for security and protecting information. We do this by engineering innovative cybersecurity solutions that effectively protect their assets and data while also securely enabling data sharing," says Ryan Brewer, EVP for Business Development and Strategy at Iron Vine Security.
The differentiators of Iron Vine Security include designing solutions to its clients' specific needs, both domestically and internationally. Iron Vine Security runs the24x7x365 cyber integration center for one healthcare client and has implemented innovative solutions. Their solutions include the Iron Vine customized Cyber Threat Intelligence platform (IronCore) and a crowdsourced continuous penetration testing solution."We take a lot of time and care to understand the mission of our clients, such as open enrollment at CMS, where over 140 million Americans each year can sign up for Healthcare coverage. This ongoing interaction and awareness of mission rhythm affords us insight to known what type of traffic should be seen during that time, helping them mitigate targeted threats to CMS’ systems," mentions Brewer.
Many clients have benefitted from the customized solutions of Iron Vine Security, including CMS, monitoring over a hundred million Americans beneficiary information. When the pandemic of COVID-19 came crashing, Iron Vine Security developed disaster recovery plans to provide secure and redundant remote monitoring services to its clients. The company was quickly able to switch to its pre-developed solution to provide 24x7x365 remote monitoring without any disruption to operations within CMS.
