ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Applaudo partnered with an American multinational technology company and a local public sector institution to modernize healthcare services. The project involved implementing a cybersecurity strategy on a cutting-edge mobile application that leverages advanced AI for triage analysis. This intuitive interface allows patients to describe their symptoms. The app assigns an emergency level, schedules doctor appointments, and provides diagnoses and prescriptions, reducing unnecessary hospital visits and enhancing healthcare delivery.

SCOPE

  • Cybersecurity strategy
  • Penetration test (Mobile and Web)
  • Security test (APIs)
  • Cloud security posture audit
  • Security compliance audit

INDUSTRY

Public Sector

Three key challenges
  • The application is publicly accessible and used worldwide, making it a prime target for a wide range of cyberattacks from different geographic locations and threat actors.​
  • The development involves multiple vendors and numerous individuals, each responsible for different parts of the product. This diverse environment can lead to inconsistencies in security practices and increased risk of vulnerabilities.​
  • The application leverages a variety of technologies, including mobile devices, web applications, AI, virtual machines, cloud infrastructure, APIs, databases, and cloud services. Each technology introduces unique security vulnerabilities and complexities.

Our approach

We started the cybersecurity journey with a thorough analysis, delving deep into the application’s architecture to identify potential vulnerabilities and threat vectors.

Applaudo’s comprehensive strategy laid the groundwork for subsequent actions. First, we strategically implemented advanced threat detection mechanisms to identify and respond to emerging threats, bolstering the application’s security posture with robust firewalls and sophisticated DDoS protection measures. These safeguards were meticulously designed to shield the application’s operations from malicious intrusions, ensuring seamless service delivery amidst cyber threats.

 

Recognizing the important role of collaboration in mitigating risks, we prioritized coordination among multiple vendors and stakeholders involved in the development process. Through proactive engagement and shared best practices, we cultivated a unified security posture, minimizing discrepancies and fortifying the application’s resilience against potential vulnerabilities.

 

Furthermore, we conducted regular penetration testing and Security Posture Management audits to address the complexities inherent in the application’s diverse technology stack. These efforts enabled us to systematically evaluate and mitigate security risks across various components, ensuring comprehensive protection.

 

As a result of these initiatives, the application now boasts enhanced data security and reliable performance, delivering confidence and satisfaction among users. By leveraging robust security technologies (AWS, CGP, and Azure), we established a fortified environment capable of hold out against sophisticated cyberattacks. This integration of features further solidified our defense strategy, safeguarding the application’s integrity and user data effectively.
