Attackers research your practice before calling.

Before a social engineering attempt, a sophisticated attacker already knows:

→ Your software vendors (from your website and job postings) → Your staff names and roles (from LinkedIn and your own team page) → Your recent technology investments (from press releases and conference attendance) → The name of your IT company (often listed in vendor directories)

This reconnaissance takes less than 20 minutes. The attack call takes less than 5.

When the caller knows your systems, your vendor relationships, and the name of someone on your leadership team, the call sounds completely legitimate. That's the point.

Security awareness training needs to account for this reality. Staff need to understand that knowledge of internal details doesn't verify identity — only a confirmed callback does.

The best security model for DSOs?

It's not MSP-only. It's not MSSP-only. It's both, working together, with clearly defined roles.

→ Your MSP runs the infrastructure. They deploy, configure, support, and maintain.

→ Your MSSP runs the security operations. They monitor, detect, validate, and respond.

→ The two communicate constantly. When the MSSP flags something, the MSP acts. When the MSP changes something, the MSSP verifies.

This is how mature healthcare organizations operate. It's how Fortune 500 companies operate. And it's increasingly how leading DSOs are operating.

If your current setup has one team doing both jobs, you don't have a security program — you have a single point of failure with a job title.

Pop quiz for your front desk staff:

Someone calls claiming to be from your IT support company. They say there's an urgent issue with your network and they need you to give them remote access immediately to prevent data loss.

Do you:

A) Patch them through; it sounds urgent and they know the right terminology

B) Ask them to hold and call your IT company back on the number you have on file

C) Ask for a ticket number and verify through your internal help desk process

If your team isn't immediately and confidently answering B or C, your practice is vulnerable to social engineering.

The right answer has to be trained into muscle memory. Urgency is the attacker's most powerful tool. Verification is yours.

87.5% reduction in security operations overhead.

That's the documented outcome for Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare after moving from manual vulnerability management to an MSSP model with automated remediation.

Here's what drove the number: manual vulnerability management is relentlessly labor-intensive. Hundreds of scan findings to review. Remediation executed endpoint-by-endpoint. Separate documentation for compliance. And a monthly four-to-eight-hour meeting to work through it all, pulling a lean IT team away from everything else.

Automation restructured that entirely. Prioritization became algorithmic. Remediation simultaneously pushed to every device across all locations. Documentation generated automatically as a byproduct of the process.

The result: a full-day operational burden became a focused 60-minute review. And for an organization adding 11-12 new facilities per year through acquisition, it meant new locations could be onboarded to the security program without adding headcount.

Our latest blog explains exactly how this transformation works: https://blacktalon.co/4uCXUsb

Microsoft recently released 57 security flaws.

6 of them were "zero-day" vulnerabilities, meaning they were already being actively exploited before the patch existed.

Now think about your healthcare practice's monthly vulnerability scan.

If a zero-day is announced on say May 11, and your next scheduled scan is June 1, you have a 21-day window during which attackers know exactly how to get in and your security posture has no idea anything has changed. Monthly scans were good enough when threats moved on a monthly cadence. They don't anymore.

Continuous vulnerability monitoring isn't a premium feature. It's table stakes, because the threat landscape changes every single day, and yesterday's clean scan tells you nothing about today's exposure.

Many DSOs feel secure because they have IT support, a firewall, and annual assessments in place—but that does not mean they are truly protected.

This month’s Group Dentistry Now Cyber Watch article breaks down why continuous visibility and ongoing risk reduction matter more than periodic checklists. Is your organization measuring real security or assumed security?

Memorial Day weekend reminder:

Attackers LOVE long weekends.

Your IT team is off. Your guard is down. Your monitoring stops.

But threats don't take holidays.

This is why 24/7/365 SOC coverage isn't luxury, it's necessity.

Ensure your security doesn't take weekends off. Schedule a consult at https://blacktalon.co/4nJgsEo.
