Syra Health Expands its Cybersecurity Offerings

Solutions are customized for payers, providers, pharmaceutical companies, and government agencies

CARMEL, Ind., Jan. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Syra Health Corp. (NASDAQ: SYRA) ("Syra Health" or the "Company"), a healthcare technology company with a mission to improve healthcare by providing innovative services and technology solutions, today announced the expansion of its cybersecurity offerings in support of its healthcare customers.

Cybersecurity is essential in healthcare because of the sensitive nature of the patient data being handled and the negative effects cyber-attacks can have on millions of Americans. According to a 2020 HHS Report on cybersecurity, 560 health organizations were impacted by ransomware attacks, and approximately one million healthcare records were breached monthly.

"We have read the news and heard from our customers repeatedly about their data protection concerns and have invested significantly in the development and maintenance of advanced security protocols, encryption technologies, and monitoring solutions," said Sandeep Allam, Executive Chairman and President, Syra Health.

• Threat intelligence and prevention plans
• Data protection and privacy compliance services
• Policy development and implementation for healthcare cybersecurity
• Cybersecurity audits and assessments for healthcare facilities
• Secure mobile and telehealth solutions

Malware and Ransomware attacks can be particularly devastating for payers when personal information can then be used for malicious activities such as healthcare insurance fraud.

Syra Health's enhanced solutions for payers include:

• Proactive risk management for insurance including real-time monitoring and analysis
• Continuous fraud detection and prevention services, including collaboration with law enforcement
• Secure and transparent claims processing and payment systems
• Data encryption and protection for sensitive payer information

• Regulatory compliance assistance for the drug approval process
• R&D data protection and cyber threat monitoring

• Expertise in HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health), for the adoption and meaningful use of electronic health records (EHRs)
