Security as a service – when the hospital sleeps, MDR stays awake (7 min)
A look at managed detection and response in healthcare environments.
Healthcare is tightening its cyber defenses, yet attacks on hospitals continue to occur and some end in attackers’ success. Technology alone is not enough: without people who monitor and use it, its potential remains untapped. A combination of modern tools and continuous monitoring shortens response times and helps meet new obligations under cybersecurity legislation. Many organizations have moved protection beyond antivirus and firewalls and are deploying EDR/XDR and advanced analytics. Yet the media regularly report incidents, most recently in the case of Nymburk hospital in the Czech Republic. The problem is often not the absence of tools, but that no one systematically monitors them. According to findings, as many as 75% of administrators do not open the cybersecurity console even once a week. Although AI-powered tools now visualize incidents and their severity based on global data from more than 110 million monitored computers, they still do not replace decision-making. Real impact comes from combining technologies with people and processes that can distinguish meaningful signals from noise.Why technology alone is not enough
