Tausight raises $20M to protect clinical workflows

2021-03-12 00:30

Founded by David Ting, the cofounder and former CTO of Imprivata and a former appointee to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Health Care Industry Cybersecurity Task Force, Tausight will help healthcare provider CIOs, CISOs, and their IT organizations better secure clinical workflows when clinicians access and use PHI. The company will use the funding to expand its go-to-market team and further build out its healthcare-specific solution for exposing the hidden vulnerabilities in clinical workflows that can put patient data at risk.

"As attacks on the industry accelerate and healthcare decentralizes, Tausight is taking a unique approach to protecting clinical workflows involving PHI to improve patient safety," said David Ting, founder and CTO, Tausight.

"There's a large unmet and critical market need for CIOs and CISOs to find patient data at risk and preemptively protect their institutions and patient populations. We've been pleased to partner with Tausight since its founding to address this compelling opportunity."

"Healthcare organizations are at a disadvantage in the race to protect patient data from malicious cyber-attacks and accidental breaches," said Bill Geary, cofounder and general partner, Flare Capital Partners.

"By focusing on how PHI travels and becomes vulnerable across the clinical workflow, Tausight is disrupting the status quo by building a solution focused on the unique challenges the healthcare industry faces. We believe Tausight has the team and technology to create long-term value for its healthcare customers and partners."

"Existing cybersecurity solutions address critical aspects of securing the healthcare IT system but are not adequately addressing hidden vulnerabilities found in clinical workflows - Tausight was created to close this gap and solve this vital problem," added Dave Dickinson, CEO, Tausight.
