The Aesthetic Society Partners with Quest and Crytica for Enhanced Cybersecurity Solutions
In a significant move to bolster cybersecurity for its members, The Aesthetic Society has announced a collaboration with Quest Technology Management, in partnership with Crytica Security. This initiative aims to provide tailored Managed Cybersecurity services designed specifically for aesthetic practices, which are increasingly becoming targets of sophisticated cyber threats.
A Growing Threat Landscape
As the digital landscape evolves, aesthetic venues, including clinics and aesthetic practices, have become more vulnerable to cyberattacks, particularly ransomware. Recent statistics indicate that the average time before a ransomware attack is detected can exceed 100 days, leading to severe risks for patient data and business operations. Dr. Tracy Pfeifer, President of The Aesthetic Society, emphasized the urgency, stating, "Our priority is to ensure our members have access to trusted, advanced tools that help protect their practices and the patients they serve."
Cutting-Edge Cybersecurity Solutions
The services offered will include several options to secure IT, IoT, and operational technology environments, leveraging Quest Technology Management's comprehensive experience in the field. By employing Crytica's unique capabilities, which provide rapid detection and containment of threats, the solution is positioned to counteract the increasing sophistication of attacks faced by aesthetic practices today.
Adam Burke, Vice President of Sales and Partnerships at Quest Technology Management, highlighted, "Together with Crytica, we're closing the gap, bringing never-before-seen speed to threat detection and response so our customers stay resilient and ahead of what's next."
The integration of Crytica's patented Rapid Detection and Alert (RDA) solution promises not only to improve threat recognition times but also to mitigate risks associated with breach incidents. This advancement is particularly crucial, as the median breakout time for cyber intruders has reportedly decreased to just 62 minutes.
Aiming for Resilience and Business Continuity
The partnership is also aimed at setting a new standard for cybersecurity in edge environments, promising improved resilience and proactive protection across an organization's IT, IoT, and OT networks. The Aesthetic Society’s initiative reflects a broader recognition of the critical need for comprehensive cybersecurity strategies in the healthcare and aesthetic sectors. With cyberattacks becoming more frequent and severe, the integration of Quick Detection and Remediation capabilities will allow practices to respond more rapidly to threats
