Madhavan GG, Senior Vice President – Infrastructure Solutions, Access Healthcare, has been named among the top one hundred Chief Security Officers in corporate India at the CSO100 Awards & Symposium organized by Foundry India last week in Bangalore, India. This year, the event's theme was Cybersecurity 2022: Business Risk at the Brink and focused on the data security concerns associated with remote work and the integration of operational technology with IT systems.
Madhavan explained, "Businesses and users in today's world expect an "always on" experience from their IT infrastructure. System downtimes can directly impact delivery outcomes, revenue, and customer goodwill. Rather than retrofitting security measures into business technology platforms, these systems must be designed and built with information security as a top priority. Resilience should also be a key design consideration to ensure quick recovery from disastrous incidents. It is crucial to ensure that IT security has a seat at the table from the beginning."
Foundry, formerly IDG Communications, is a global leader in technology media, data, and integrated marketing services and owns international media platforms like CIO, ChannelWorld, Computerworld, CSO, InfoWorld, MacWorld, Network World, PCWorld, and TechHive.
In the prelude to the event, the IDG Security Priorities survey of information security leaders revealed that 90% believed that their organization wasn't doing enough to address cyber risks. Key elements of the solution envisioned include zero trust approaches and increased security and awareness training for employees. The Zero Trust Model, as implemented in Access Healthcare's networks, follows the principle that any deviation from the norm should trigger the system to demand an additional authentication from the user.
Access Healthcare's intensive focus on information security and building best-in-class IT infrastructure manifest in its HITRUST, PCI DSS, SOC Type 2, and ISO 27001 certifications that assure our clients of the security, availability, and confidentiality of sensitive health information.
