United Regional Health Care System Collaborates with TripleKey to Combat Cybersecurity Threats

In a significant step towards enhancing cybersecurity within the healthcare sector, the United Regional Health Care System has officially partnered with TripleKey, a renowned leader in real-time engineering and code-risk intelligence. This collaboration aims to leverage TripleKey's sophisticated real-time risk management platform to protect patient data and healthcare operations from emerging cybersecurity threats, specifically those arising from third-party software vulnerabilities.

Addressing a Growing Concern

Recent studies have highlighted a troubling surge in supply chain-related breaches, with incidents rising nearly 40% compared to two years ago. Alarmingly, these breaches now account for nearly half of all data breaches, as outlined in Verizon’s latest Data Breach Investigations Report for 2026. These statistics reflect a pressing need for organizations like the United Regional Health Care System to implement proactive measures against invisible threats that often slip through conventional security protocols.

Scott McCullough, CEO of TripleKey, emphasized the evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, stating, “Cybercriminals are no longer breaking in through the front door; they're slipping in through trusted software vendors.” This statement underscores the critical nature of safeguarding patient care and data integrity in the face of technological vulnerabilities.

The TripleKey Solution

TripleKey offers a robust platform built on its proprietary TripleScan technology, which provides both technical and non-technical executives with comprehensive, real-time insights into various risk factors. This includes:

• - Software & Code Health: Continuous monitoring of vendor codebases and development environments to identify security vulnerabilities, exposed credentials, and other critical risks, paired with developer-friendly tips for rapid risk mitigation.
• - Intellectual Property & Licensing Compliance: The creation of a Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) that updates regularly, delivering instant alerts for any licensing conflicts and overseeing the legal usage of open-source code, thus mitigating compliance risks.
• - Team Performance & Efficiency: Real-time data on engineering productivity and workflow obstacles, allowing healthcare organizations to optimize operations across clinical and IT development teams.

Commitment to Patient Trust

John Newby, Director of Information Services Security at United Regional, commented on the importance of this initiative, stating, “Maintaining patient trust means staying ahead of threats we couldn't previously see. By leveraging TripleKey, we obtain that additional visibility and control.
