The Client
The King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH & RC) is a tertiary referral hospital which offers primary and highly specialised inpatient and outpatient medical care and participates in many clinical research studies. The hospital has reached an international standard of excellence equivalent to that of leading global academic medical centres. KFSH & RC focuses primarily on research in the field of cancer, cardiovascular diseases, transplant immunology, genetics, molecular diagnostics and proteomics. The hospitals employs more than 15,000 people providing specialised healthcare services combined with an educational and research setting.
The Challenge
OBRELA and KFSH & RC teamed up from the very beginning to identify the threat models and vectors that may be applicable to the hospital’s people, infrastructure, systems, data, and intercommunications with third parties. Based on OBRELA’s intelligence and experience, a holistic cybersecurity framework was designed addressing current and future challenges related to cybersecurity risks with special focus on IoT medical ecosystems.
OBRELA’s contribution
KFSH & RC selected OBRELA as a trusted partner in this very important initiative. OBRELA evaluated, designed, and progressively implemented the appropriate security controls (spanning across all people, processes, and technology dimensions) with special focus on Managed Threat Detection and Response (MDR). OBRELA’s Threat Analytics technologies are currently collecting and analysing security related events in real-time from thousands of IT and OT assets across all hospital’s data centres. Data are being analysed in depth by OBRELA’s professionals providing enhanced threat detection, faster incident response as well as advanced orchestration of supplementary service such as vulnerability management.
