Agio Healthcare Division Reflects Company’s Commitment to Cybersecurity Protection for Healthcare Industry

By AIT News Desk On Apr 30, 2020

Agio, a leading provider of cybersecurity and managed IT services, announces the division of Agio Healthcare, exclusively dedicated to offering the company’s portfolio suite of cybersecurity services to the healthcare industry.

The formal distinction of the company’s Agio Healthcare business coincides with a rise in industry-wide cyberattacks over the last decade, most recently driven by attackers exploiting the global pandemic to intercept proprietary data, private information and payments using phishing schemes, ransomware and man-in-the-middle attacks.

“Agio’s growth in the healthcare space, and the deepening of client relationships, has been fueled by our unique blend of highly personalized service rooted in foundational industry expertise,” said Bart McDonough, Founder and CEO. “Cybersecurity is in our DNA and as technology continues to change administration and regulation, we are embracing this opportunity to double down on protecting the healthcare community.”

“Now, more than ever, healthcare businesses must find a dedicated cybersecurity partner to maintain their infrastructure’s security and reliability. It is this type of strategic partnership that empowers healthcare organizations to deliberately focus the appropriate resources towards patient care, supporting employees and optimizing business operations.”
