ActZero Named Cybersecurity Partner for the Texas Hospital Association

Full-stack cybersecurity service provides stronger ransomware protection to heavily-attacked healthcare industry

SAN FRANCISCO, May 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ActZero®, a leading cybersecurity provider for small and mid-sized enterprises, announced it has been endorsed by the Texas Hospital Association (THA) as its cybersecurity partner. ActZero Managed Detection and Response (MDR) delivers a powerful and affordable service to secure healthcare systems against ransomware attacks. THA-endorsed partners are vetted to streamline the purchase process for its members, including solutions for insurance, legal, HR, and now security.

Hospitals and medical centers store an immense amount of patient personal data, making them a prime target for theft. According to CISA, recent highly-publicized ransomware attacks on hospitals necessitated diverting patients to other hospitals and led to an inability to access patient records to continue care delivery. Such cyberattacks can also expose sensitive patient information and lead to substantial financial costs to regain control of hospital systems and patient data.

"We've learned that hospitals are prime targets for cyber attacks, so hospitals need an easy-to-use and affordable solution. We've vetted and chosen ActZero, with their trusted team and deep roots in security, to protect our member hospitals and medical centers," said Fernando Martinez, THA Chief Strategy Officer.

ActZero leverages defense ingenuity and precision AI detection to continuously test against the latest attack techniques to achieve best-in-class security outcomes.

"We're seeing more cyberattacks on healthcare organizations than any other sector," said Sameer Bhalotra, ActZero Chief Executive Officer. "We are honored to partner with the Texas Hospital Association to deliver expert cybersecurity and ransomware defense to its member hospitals."
