About The Customer
The customer in this case study is not explicitly mentioned. However, the article implies that the customers are organizations that are facing challenges in the face of increasing cyber threats. These organizations could be from various industries, including but not limited to finance, insurance, healthcare, and hospitals. They are likely to be large organizations with a significant dependency on technology and third parties. These organizations are struggling with assessing and documenting cyber risk, controlling data exfiltration, and understanding the role of government and information custody. They are also facing challenges with external controls assessment and are often failing due to improper security settings, incorrect configurations, low levels of encryption, or poor policies and procedures.
The Challenge
The article discusses the challenges faced by organizations in the face of increasing cyber threats. These include the difficulty in assessing and documenting cyber risk, the rapid pace of technology which increases dependency on third parties, and the inability of IT to trace or control data exfiltration. The role of government and information custody is often misunderstood, and findings in audit reports can become barriers to business. In today’s cloud economy, customer due diligence has become a mandate. The article also highlights the importance of complying with the Center for Internet Security’s Critical Security Controls (CIS CSC v6.0), which are updated by cyber experts based on actual attack data from various public and private threat sources.
The Solution
The solution proposed in the article is Cavirin’s Automated Risk Analysis Platform (ARAP™). This platform assists Chief Risk & Security, as well as IT and DevOps leadership in gathering configuration data used to address their top security and compliance challenges. These challenges include settings that indicate missing patches for operating systems and applications, monitoring and detecting sensitive data loss (data exfiltration), locating policies that enable weak passwords, lack of logs and audit trails necessary to conduct forensics, security validation for new systems, missing or outdated anti-malware technology, settings that enable encryption of sensitive information in transit, and the information necessary to remediate deficiencies that would otherwise be impossible to manage due to the lack of trained staff maintaining security controls. The platform is a Cloud Native platform supporting 12-factor patterns and works with Private, Hybrid, and Public Clouds and Support AWS, Azure, GCP (Google Cloud Platform).

Hospital Inventory Management
The hospital supply chain team is responsible for ensuring that the right medical supplies are readily available to clinicians when and where needed, and to do so in the most efficient manner possible. However, many of the systems and processes in use at the cancer center for supply chain management were not best suited to support these goals. Barcoding technology, a commonly used method for inventory management of medical supplies, is labor intensive, time consuming, does not provide real-time visibility into inventory levels and can be prone to error. Consequently, the lack of accurate and real-time visibility into inventory levels across multiple supply rooms in multiple hospital facilities creates additional inefficiency in the system causing over-ordering, hoarding, and wasted supplies. Other sources of waste and cost were also identified as candidates for improvement. Existing systems and processes did not provide adequate security for high-cost inventory within the hospital, which was another driver of cost. A lack of visibility into expiration dates for supplies resulted in supplies being wasted due to past expiry dates. Storage of supplies was also a key consideration given the location of the cancer center’s facilities in a dense urban setting, where space is always at a premium. In order to address the challenges outlined above, the hospital sought a solution that would provide real-time inventory information with high levels of accuracy, reduce the level of manual effort required and enable data driven decision making to ensure that the right supplies were readily available to clinicians in the right location at the right time.

Driving Digital Transformations for Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices
Diagnostic devices play a vital role in helping to improve healthcare delivery. In fact, an estimated 60 percent of the world’s medical decisions are made with support from in vitrodiagnostics (IVD) solutions, such as those provided by Roche Diagnostics, an industry leader. As the demand for medical diagnostic services grows rapidly in hospitals and clinics across China, so does the market for IVD solutions. In addition, the typically high cost of these diagnostic devices means that comprehensive post-sales services are needed. Wanteed to improve three portions of thr IVD:1. Remotely monitor and manage IVD devices as fixed assets.2. Optimizing device availability with predictive maintenance.3. Recommending the best IVD solution for a customer’s needs.
