How to comply with FDA's 2025 cybersecurity guidance for medical devices

A client in the manufacturing sector once told me, “We’ve got strong passwords and VPN, why do we still see account misuse?” That’s when we walked them through Identity & Access Management (IAM) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Turns out, the problem wasn’t their network, it was who was getting access and how. After deploying IAM + MFA, we saw: ✅ Phishing-based logins drop by 85% ✅ Password resets go down by half ✅ User experience improve through single sign-on The best part? They realized cybersecurity isn’t about blocking everyone, it’s about letting the right people in, the right way. #CyberSecurity #IAM #MFA #ZeroTrust #SalesLeadership #PreSales #DigitalSecurity #CISO #InfoSec

Healthcare is one of the most targeted industries for cyberattacks, with more than 275 million individuals affected by healthcare data breaches last year. The impact goes far beyond data, however. A breach can mean delayed care, compromised patient trust, and higher costs. This Cybersecurity Awareness Month, let’s all double down on cyber safety with strong passwords, phishing awareness, and protecting PHI at every step. Small actions up front can save big headaches down the line. #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #Data #EHR #HealthIT

Welcome to Week 4 of our Cybersecurity Series 👋 This week, we’re tackling the front lines of digital defense: Identity, Access, and Data Protection. Because in cybersecurity, it’s not just about keeping attackers out, it’s also about controlling what happens when they get in. Identity & Access Management (IAM): Your First Line of Defense IAM is the gatekeeper of your digital world. It decides who gets in, what they can do, and when they can act. Without strong IAM: ❗Stolen credentials turn into stolen data (and that’s how many major breaches start) ❗ Up to 93% of organizations suffer identity-related compromises in a year (via phishing, vishing, credential reuse) https://lnkd.in/grP5z_5i Good Identity & Access Management isn’t “set and forget.” Review user access regularly, apply least privilege, and enforce strong authentication policies. 💬 When was the last time your team audited user access and permissions? #IdentityAccessManagement #IAM #CyberSecurity #ZeroTrust #AccessControl #DataProtection #InformationSecurity #ProCloudSaaS #CyberAwareness #DigitalSecurity

The expiration of the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act cuts off a key channel of threat intelligence just when we need it most. With fewer alerts and higher liability for sharing data, organizations face a new visibility gap. Our latest blog breaks down practical steps to strengthen your private-sector intelligence network, tighten third-party risk, and simulate the loss of upstream intel before it happens. Now is the time to adapt—before attackers take advantage. https://lnkd.in/eFUvmJRD #Cybersecurity #ThreatIntelligence #IncidentResponse

Does your MSP/MSSP or internal IT department monitor the user login (identity)? At #Pax8Beyond25 in Amsterdam, I attended a breakout with David Weeks, and he emphasized a key point: cybersecurity is changing quickly, and identity has become the new perimeter. My Key Takeaways relating to identity protection: • 3x more likely for SMBs to be attacked than large enterprises • 95% of breaches require cloud-based containment • 66% of cyberattacks involve compromised identity Managed Detection and Response (MDR) including Identity, isn’t just a checkbox on an insurance form, it’s your first line of defense, especially when the identity is under attack. Not sure if your MSP or MSSP is truly protecting your identity? Ask them. If the answer isn’t clear, it’s a “no,” or you’re an internal IT team looking to implement MDR, reach out to me. We can help. #CyberSecurity #IdentityProtection #MDR #MSP #MSSP #ZeroTrust #CloudSecurity #RiskManagement #CyberResilience

🔐 Secure Your Business with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) 🔐 Passwords alone can’t protect today’s organizations from account takeovers or data breaches. MFA adds an essential second layer, verifying user identity and dramatically reducing risk. ✅ Block unauthorized access ✅ Safeguard sensitive data ✅ Build trust with customers & partners If MFA isn’t fully rolled out across your workforce, admins, and remote users, now is the time to act. 👉 Partner with Cyber Security Resource to design and implement the right MFA strategy for your business — and keep your data safe. #CyberSecurity #MFA #IdentitySecurity #ZeroTrust #DataProtection #cyber #MFA #healthcare #cybersecurityresource

For years, controlling who can access what has been the main focus of security. But attacks have evolved, and today, the real risk begins after access is granted. That’s where ITDR (Identity Threat Detection & Response) comes in. A defense layer that continuously monitors, detects, and responds to the misuse of human or service identities, in real time. The result? Fewer breaches, greater visibility, and truly secure identities. Want to learn more about ITDR and how to apply it to your security strategy? Talk to our team and discover how to evolve from traditional IAM to intelligent and continuous identity protection. #ITDR #CyberSecurity #IAM #IdentityAndAccess

Zero Trust isn’t just a buzzword it’s a modern cybersecurity framework built on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” Every user, device, workload, and system must continuously authenticate and authorize before accessing any resource. By enforcing strict identity verification, access policies, continuous monitoring, and analytics, Zero Trust ensures that threats are minimized whether they originate inside or outside the network. It’s not about building higher walls it’s about granting the right access, at the right time, under the right conditions. #ZeroTrust #CyberSecurity #InfoSec #IdentityAndAccessManagement #NetworkSecurity #CloudSecurity #DataSecurity #AccessManagement #ContinuousMonitoring #RiskManagement #TrustButVerify

Cybersecurity Awareness Month 2025 is here, and one of the simplest, most effective defenses you can enable today is Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). Passwords alone are no longer enough. With cyber threats growing smarter every year, MFA adds that critical second lock on your digital front door. ✅ Blocks 99.9% of automated attacks ✅ Protects even if your password is stolen ✅ Available on almost every major platform If you haven’t enabled MFA yet, now is the time. Take 10 minutes this October to protect your most important accounts. Here’s a quick read on why MFA matters in 2025 and how to set it up: https://lnkd.in/g3_CjAAS #CyberSecurity #MFA #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #InfoSec #DigitalSafety

🔒 October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month—but threats don’t stick to a calendar. 49% of organizations only invest in security after a breach. By then, the damage—financial, regulatory, and reputational—is already done. (IBM 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report) SPHEREboard delivers Identity Intelligence that surfaces risks before they escalate. By embedding Identity Hygiene across Active Directory, data, and privileged accounts, we help enterprises strengthen defenses proactively—all year long. 👉 https://hubs.li/Q03NKymQ0 #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #CyberSecurity #IdentitySecurity #IdentityIntelligence #DataProtection #RiskManagement #ZeroTrust
