At the occasion of the Healthcare Cybersecurity Day organized by SESAN and the Agence Régionale de Santé Ile-de-France, NetExplorer was selected as a partner to present its sovereign and operational file management solutions. Since 2024, they have supported SESAN in deploying critical data backups to ensure:
– Continuous availability of essential data,
– A secure environment shielded from cyber threats,
– Rapid access during crises.
Clarisse Helle, Customer Success Manager at NetExplorer, spoke on “Organizing Business Continuity: Backing Up Essential Data”—a key concern for IT directors (DSI), CISOs (RSSI), and healthcare institution leaders.
You Should Know: Critical Cybersecurity Practices for Healthcare Data
1. Secure Backup Strategies
- Use encrypted backups with tools like `BorgBackup` or
Duplicati. - Automate backups with cron jobs:
Daily encrypted backup script (Linux) 0 2 /usr/bin/borg create /backup::'{now:%Y-%m-%d}' /path/to/data
2. Ransomware Protection
- Isolate backups using air-gapped storage or immutable cloud buckets (AWS S3 Object Lock).
- Monitor for suspicious activity with
auditd:sudo auditctl -w /critical/data -p war -k healthcare_data
3. Access Control & Monitoring
- Enforce least privilege via `chmod` and
chown:chmod 750 /sensitive/files Restrict to owner/group chown root:healthstaff /patient/records
- Deploy SIEM tools (Elasticsearch + Wazuh) for real-time alerts.
4. Emergency Data Recovery
- Test recovery with disaster drills:
borg extract /backup::2024-04-16 Extract latest backup
5. Compliance & Encryption
- Use GPG for encrypting patient data:
gpg --encrypt --recipient [email protected] patient_record.csv
What Undercode Say
Healthcare institutions must prioritize offline backups, zero-trust access, and real-time threat detection. Cyberattacks like ransomware exploit weak backup policies—automate, encrypt, and test restores.
Expected Output:
- Secured backups (Borg/Duplicati).
- Immutable logs (
auditd/SIEM). - Tested recovery plans (scripted drills).
