TRIMEDX is pleased to announce a comprehensive cybersecurity training program specifically designed to address the ever-growing threat of cyberattacks on connected medical devices.

TRIMEDX will partner with CyberVista, a cybersecurity education and workforce development company, in launching its CE CYBER Academy: a next-generation training and certification program that will enhance TRIMEDX's 3,100+ nationwide associates with vital skills that many health systems struggle to source in the face of unprecedented demand for cybersecurity expertise.

Organizations across industries are experiencing a major cybersecurity talent gap, with open positions reported at over 561,000 in the U.S. In a recent report, the healthcare industry ranked the 15th lowest of the 17 industries reviewed in terms of overall cybersecurity expertise and last in terms of speed or process in patching vulnerabilities that could expose sensitive information like patient medical records or access to medical equipment.

"While many organizations around the world are enacting initiatives to increase cybersecurity knowledge across dedicated cybersecurity roles, few organizations have acted on the transformative notion that the responsibility of cybersecurity does not solely fall onto the traditional cybersecurity practitioner themselves but rather to a team of people focused on patient care."

In addition to this first program implementation, TRIMEDX will also be making CyberVista's comprehensive Security+, CISM and CISSP certification training courses available to its cyber specialists.
