Henry Schein One Announces New Cybersecurity Solution Provided by N-able

Dental software provider Henry Schein One has announced a new cybersecurity offering for dental practices and organizations. Adlumin Managed Detection and Response (MDR) is a detection and protection platform provided by IT service management company, N-able. MDR will provide a team of cybersecurity experts that can monitor systems 24/7, offering comfort for practices and organizations. With this around-the-clock monitoring, MDR can identify and remediate any cybersecurity threats on the spot, according to a press release from Henry Schein One.

Notably, N-able has an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) system, which monitors computers and servers, assessing and detecting any threats. After a threat is detected, EDR alerts security teams and takes the next steps to eliminate those threats. Alan Rencher, Chief Technology Officer at Henry Schein One, commented on the critical nature of cybersecurity in the press release.

“The volume and sophistication of threats facing dental practices and other health care organizations is continuing to increase. Attackers don’t discriminate. Small and midsized organizations have been especially disadvantaged compared to their larger counterparts with deeper resources,” Rencher said. “Our solution combines N-able EDR’s visibility into an organization’s attack surface, while the MDR solution brings a platform that consolidates many elements of cybersecurity, along with the talent to manage it. This new offering will be significant in advancing cybersecurity for our customers.”

MDR is suitable for dental organizations with up to 20 practices or any larger group that utilizes decentralized servers. It can also be used in smaller practices as an “IT person,” providing valuable insights and enhancing security without needing to bring another employee into a smaller practice. It harnesses the power of artificial intelligence (AI) through its modeling platform which bolsters monitoring and employs an automated response playbook to streamline best practices. Further, MDR will also provide a comprehensive security insight report to inform a practice or organization where security needs to be reinforced or where there may be holes.

The balancing act of dental practice becomes complicated when threatened by bad actors in the digital arena. MDR aims to help in this, according to Chief Technology and Product Officer at N-able, Mike Adler.

“The increasingly digitized world of healthcare means providers like dental organizations need more help than ever to combat today’s cybercriminals as they grapple with a growing onslaught of threats while trying to balance day-to-day business operations with keeping their patients’ data safe,” Adler said in the press release. “Henry Schein One is a renowned technology leader in helping dental practices of all sizes succeed and thrive, and N-able is proud to collaborate with them to deliver the enterprise-grade security capabilities their customers need and deserve.”
