At NACCHO360, Cycurion’s Michael A. Phillips and W. Eric Singleton will leverage their 70 years of combined expertise to address critical cybersecurity threats facing healthcare. As Phillips notes, “With ransomware, AI-driven botnets, and phishing campaigns on the rise, health systems—especially at the local level—are now prime targets. There is a cybersecurity arms race between AI-driven good and bad actors, and it’s escalating rapidly.” The panel will begin with a briefing on current trends, emphasizing the urgency of protecting sensitive health data.
Cycurion, recently named NACCHO’s Diamond Affiliate Business Partner, will introduce the co-branded NACCHO Cyber Shield solution. This Managed Security Services Platform (MSSP) offers 24/7 security operations, vulnerability management, and cybersecurity training tailored for local health departments. The partnership addresses challenges like limited resources and evolving compliance requirements, enhancing healthcare cybersecurity for over 3,300 NACCHO members.
The panel will explore advanced defensive strategies, including Zero Trust architecture, deception tools, and Managed Detection and Response (MDR). Singleton states, “We will show how to mitigate these risks using emerging technologies like deception tools, Managed Detection and Response (MDR), and Zero Trust frameworks.” These solutions are designed to counter AI-driven attacks and ensure robust protection for healthcare networks.
The discussion will highlight AI’s dual role in cybersecurity, both as a defense mechanism and a tool for automated attacks like deepfake-driven social engineering. The panel will address how deepfake risks and phishing campaigns target health systems, offering actionable insights into real-world threat intelligence trends. This focus underscores Cycurion’s commitment to future-proof AI-powered cybersecurity solutions.
Cycurion’s participation at NACCHO360 reinforces its leadership in safeguarding public health organizations. By showcasing NACCHO Cyber Shield and advanced defensive strategies, the company aims to empower local health departments to combat cyber threats effectively, ensuring the security of critical healthcare infrastructure.
