In today’s digital age, healthcare organizations face unprecedented challenges in safeguarding their most critical and sensitive patient data. As electronic medical records (EMR) become the backbone of healthcare operations, the need for robust security measures has never been more critical. That’s why Security Risk Advisors (SRA) is excited to introduce our new Epic Monitoring Add-On for SCALR XDR customers in the healthcare sector.
Protecting Your Crown Jewels
Your EMR system is the crown jewel of your healthcare organization, containing vital patient information that must be protected at all costs. Unfortunately, these systems are often under-monitored, leaving them vulnerable to data breaches, unauthorized access, and other security incidents. The consequences of such breaches can be devastating, compromising patient privacy and the integrity of medical records.
Comprehensive 24x7x365 Monitoring
With the Epic Add-On for SCALR XDR, SRA provides around-the-clock monitoring of your Epic platform. Our team of security incident analysts will perform real-time monitoring, forwarding relevant security logs to the Sentinel SIEM. This ensures that potential incidents are identified, investigated, and addressed promptly, providing continuous protection for your sensitive data.
Seamless Data Lake Integration
Our solution integrates your Epic E1M SIEM logs into Azure Data Explorer, with a curated subset analyzed within Azure Sentinel. This intelligent routing enables centralized investigation of all your Epic logs, optimizing SIEM storage and reducing costs. By streamlining your log management, you gain comprehensive visibility into your security landscape.
Advanced SOAR Automation
To enhance efficiency and response times, SRA configures Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) automations. These automations facilitate efficient initial triage and escalation processes, ensuring that all escalations are managed promptly. This swift response capability is crucial in mitigating potential security threats and maintaining the integrity of your EMR system.
Custom Detection Rules
SRA develops and maintains a library of detection rules tailored specifically for the Epic system. These rules are integrated into SCALR XDR monitoring, providing targeted security measures for your EMR platform. Examples of our detection rules include:
- Identifying password spray attacks on MyChart
- Detecting volumetric glass breakage
- Monitoring admin user password resets
- Logging glass break rejections
- Identifying SAML certificate failures
- Matching MyChart activity with threat intelligence
- Detecting excessive MyChart username recovery failures
- Monitoring excessive MyChart authentication attempts from a single IP address
- Identifying Adversary in the Middle (AITM) attacks
- Monitoring MyChart server admin elevation failures
- Third-Party Integration
To further enhance log management, third-party solutions like Cribl can be utilized to intelligently route logs directly to Sentinel. This integration ensures that your security logs are efficiently managed and analyzed, providing comprehensive protection for your healthcare organization.
