(Morphisec)
Shortly after installing new security software from Israel-based Morphisec Technologies to protect thousands of computers and patient records across 30 facilities, Skip Rollins, chief information security officer at Freeman Health System, became worried: it was too quiet.
Rollins had not received any suspicious activity alerts. Nor had he noticed many software upgrade prompts, or other messages typical of most cybersecurity systems.
“It was just like radio silence,” Rollins said. Looking more closely at the few communications from Morphisec, his team realized that the program had indeed been doing its job and preventing cyberattacks but it worked alone, without needing any response or action from the IT staff.
