Heimdal Announces New Partnership with ITHealth to Reinforce Cyber Security for NHS Organisations
Heimdal has partnered with ITHealth to boost cyber security for NHS organisations by integrating its advanced solutions into the ITHealth Dashboard.
This partnership aims to enhance endpoint management, ransomware protection, and patching processes, helping NHS IT teams safeguard patient care and data more effectively.

Cybersecurity Silos Disrupt Your Defense. See How Unified Security Platforms Prevent it
Cybersecurity silos result from using multiple security tools that don't integrate, leading to fragmented defenses and potential cyber exploits.
As organizations grow, these isolated systems can prevent effective security responses due to a lack of coordinated information and alert management.
A unified cybersecurity platform, like Heimdal’s Unified Security Platform, addresses these issues by integrating various security functions into one cohesive system.
This consolidation improves visibility and control, reducing the complexity and enhancing the efficiency of cybersecurity operations, thereby strengthening an organization's overall defense against cyber threats.
CISA: BianLian Ransomware Focus Switches to Data Theft
The FBI, Australian Cyber Security Centre, and U.S. Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency have updated their advisory on the BianLian ransomware group, which has shifted from encrypting data to focusing solely on data theft extortion since January 2024.
This shift follows the introduction of a decryption tool by Avast that reduced the effectiveness of their ransomware. BianLian now targets Windows and ESXi systems, employing sophisticated methods to evade detection and escalate privileges.

In response, CISA recommends limiting remote desktop protocol use and restricting command-line and scripting environments to combat these threats.
