Indianapolis-based Community Health Network has signed an agreement to use TripleKey’s advanced real-time risk management platform throughout its entire organization. This decision follows growing worries about more complex and hard-to-spot security threats that are targeting healthcare providers, especially through weaknesses in software from third-party vendors. Recent data shows that supply chain breaches have gone up by almost 40% compared to two years ago, with third-party risks being the cause of about a third of all data breaches. In the healthcare sector, there has been a significant increase in these types of attacks, with software supply chain breaches making up 15% of incidents in 2024, compared to just 4% in 2021.

TripleKey’s platform uses its own TripleScan technology to give healthcare leaders both technical and non-technical real-time information on several important areas. It keeps a constant watch on vendor code and development environments to spot security flaws, exposed login details, and other potential risks. It also offers clear advice and developer tools to help quickly deal with those risks. A Tech Risk Score helps make risk discussions easier to understand across different teams. Plus, the platform creates an updated Software Bill of Materials, highlights licensing problems, and tracks the use of open-source software to reduce compliance risks. It also provides insights into team performance and workflow issues, helping improve both clinical and IT operations.
