When Trusted Partners Become Your Biggest Threat!

Your hospital's cybersecurity is perfect. Your vendor's isn't. And that just cost you 4.3 million patient records.

41% of all third-party breaches in 2024 targeted healthcare organizations. We're not just the most attacked industry anymore. We're the most vulnerable through our supply chain.

A hospital CEO recently called me after discovering their "secure" system was breached through a vendor they trusted for three years. The attacker never touched their firewall. They used the vendor's SharePoint credentials to walk right in.

Here's the uncomfortable reality: you can have enterprise-grade security and still get breached every single day. Because every vendor, every cloud service, every third-party integration is a potential backdoor into your network.

The Change Healthcare attack proved this. Their security was solid. But one compromised vendor exposed 192 million patient records across thousands of hospitals. The entire US healthcare payment system went dark.

Most healthcare leaders are still asking: "How do we secure our systems?" The real question is: "How do we secure our ecosystem?"

You can't. Not with traditional approaches. You need to assume your vendors will be compromised and detect when their access patterns change. Monitor not just your network, but how your partners interact with your data.

At CrossClassify, we're helping healthcare organizations identify fraudulent activity even when it's coming through trusted vendor channels. Because the next breach won't come through your front door. It's already sitting in your vendor's inbox.

The question isn't whether your supply chain will be targeted. It's whether you'll catch it before your patients' data walks out the door.
