AI Security and Compliance in Healthcare
Trustwise delivers an AI Security and Control Layer, which includes AI Trust Management for Agentic AI Systems. Modern AI projects fail to scale, not because of a lack of ambition, but due to unreliability, inefficiency, and lack of control. This is the Trust Gap, a critical barrier to achieving widespread AI adoption. The emergence of agentic AI only widens this gap, introducing greater complexity and risk. Our solutions (Harmony Ai) minimize the Trust Gap throughout the entire AI lifecycle, from simulation and verification to optimization and governance. Trustwise helps large organizations realize AI Trust and Security at scale.
We embed real-time security, control, and alignment into every agent so innovation scales without compromising control. We transform naked agents into Shielded Agents. We deliver trust-as-code through APIs, SDKs, MCPs, and Guardian Agents depending on your need.
The OWASP Top 10 Vulnerabilities
As the Head of Compliance at a large Healthcare company, it’s crucial to have a solid appreciating of the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. These are the top security concerns that can impact your organization’s digital infrastructure and pose significant risks to sensitive healthcare data. By familiarizing yourself with these vulnerabilities, you can take proactive steps to safeguard your organization against potential threats.
1. Injection
Injection attacks occur when untrusted data is sent to an interpreter as part of a command or query. This can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data or even system compromise. Healthcare organizations must implement strict input validation and parameterized queries to mitigate the risk of injection attacks.
2. Broken Authentication
Weak authentication mechanisms can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive patient information. It’s essential to enforce strong password policies, utilize multi-factor authentication, and regularly review and update authentication protocols to prevent unauthorized access.
3. Sensitive Data Exposure
Healthcare organizations handle a vast amount of sensitive patient data, making them prime targets for cybercriminals. Protecting this data from exposure requires encryption, secure data storage practices, and regular security audits to identify and rectify potential vulnerabilities.
4. XML External Entities (XXE)
XXE vulnerabilities can be exploited to access sensitive information, perform denial of service attacks, and execute arbitrary code. Healthcare organizations need to implement strict input validation and properly configure XML processors to prevent XXE attacks.
5. Broken Access Control
Inadequate access control mechanisms can result in unauthorized access to patient records and other sensitive healthcare data. It’s essential to enforce strict access controls, implement role-based access management, and regularly review and update access control policies to prevent breaches.
6. Security Misconfiguration
Misconfigured security settings can leave healthcare systems vulnerable to unauthorized access and data breaches. Regular security assessments and audits are essential to identify and rectify any misconfigurations that could be exploited by malicious actors.
7. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
XSS attacks can compromise sensitive patient data and expose healthcare systems to various security risks. Implementing secure coding practices and input validation techniques can help mitigate the risk of XSS attacks and protect healthcare applications from exploitation.
8. Insecure Deserialization
Insecure deserialization vulnerabilities can be exploited to execute arbitrary code, leading to system compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive data. Healthcare organizations must implement secure deserialization practices and conduct thorough security testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.
9. Using Components with Known Vulnerabilities
Many healthcare applications rely on third-party components, and using components with known vulnerabilities can pose significant security risks. Regularly updating and patching components, conducting vulnerability assessments, and monitoring for security advisories are essential to mitigate this risk.
10. Insufficient Logging and Monitoring
Inadequate logging and monitoring practices can make it challenging to detect and respond to security incidents in a timely manner. Healthcare organizations need to implement robust logging and monitoring solutions to identify and mitigate potential security threats effectively.
