The healthcare-networking prognosis is looking up with SD-WAN

In healthcare, your network cannot be an afterthought. Whether you’re in a long-term care, rehab, hospital system, remote clinic, or independent physician group, the need to support EHR systems and other critical apps such as SaaS, virtual apps, and VDI is critical to patient care today. The transition to value-based care is increasing the number of distributed facilities that need to be connected.

The advances of AI in healthcare

Article | March 15, 2024

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).

Citrix Internal Network Hacked by International Criminals

SDxCentral | March 11, 2019

Citrix Systems‘ internal network was hacked by international cybercriminals that may have accessed and downloaded business documents. The company acknowledged the hack in a blog post last Friday. Stan Black, the chief security and information officer at Citrix, wrote that the company was contacted by the FBI last Wednesday. The FBI told Citrix that it had reason to believe there was a successful attack on the company’s network by foreign parties. According to Black, no Citrix products or services were compromised. “It appears that the hackers may have accessed and downloaded business documents. The specific documents that may have been accessed, however, are currently unknown,” Black wrote. He noted that the investigation into the hacks is ongoing. In the fallout from the attack, Citrix said it has taken action by: starting a forensic investigation; hiring a cybersecurity firm to assist the company; taking steps to secure its internal network; and by continuing to cooperate with the FBI. Black said that, while not yet confirmed, the FBI believes a technique called password spraying was used to gain access. Password spraying refers to a tactic used by hackers to exploit weak passwords. Once the hacker gains a foothold with limited access they can get around the additional layers of security. “Citrix deeply regrets the impact this incident may have on affected customers,” wrote Black. He noted that Citrix will continue to post updates and work with law enforcement on understanding the details of the breach. Last week, only a few days before it was contacted by the FBI, Citrix made several updates to its SD-WAN product to make it more secure. Iranian Hacker Group Could Be Behind Attack: Security research firm Resecurity International last week hinted at potentially more details on the hack. In a post on its site, the research firm said it reached out to both Citrix and the law enforcement in December, prior to the hack becoming public knowledge. According to Resecurity President Charles Yoo, Citrix was hacked once in December and again last Monday.

Citrix Leans In on Automation to Secure Its SD-WAN

SDxCentral | March 05, 2019

Citrix Systems enhanced its SD-WAN in order to increase automation and security. This includes new securityfeatures that enable companies to extend user-centric policies to the branch and connect employees to cloudapplications and software-as-a-service (SaaS) platforms. The platform also has integration with the zScaler cloud security platform. Chalan Aras, vice president of networking at Citrix, said the connection allows for the use of zScaler services, which includes secure cloud gateway and its user interface. This is primarily useful for enterprises that rely on more internet-centric applications. “It’s just end-to-end automated integration that … really simplifies the life of IT administrators,” Aras said. He added that this enables IT admins to have confidence that everything is connecting properly the first time rather than debugging connectivity and network issues as they arise. The zScaler platform is one of multiple third-party APIs that Citrix leverages to bolster its platform. For security, it also integrates with Palo Alto Networks for firewall protection of an enterprises’ data center applications. It also has APIs that enable the synchronization of location information to provide security insight and it establishes IPsec tunnels between branches and security enforcement points — all to automatically apply controls that protect users and applications. It also leverages APIs for application active settings and performance settings. Aras noted that Citrix is looking to bring more API integrations to its SD-WAN in the future, including security integrations and cloud on-ramp integrations. Citrix already offers cloud on-ramps to Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
