Security & Data Privacy

The Utah Telehealth Network provides proactive, scalable, and expert-driven security and data privacy services to help healthcare providers across Utah safeguard their digital environments. Built on UTN’s statewide broadband network, these services are designed to protect sensitive data, ensure network integrity, and support compliance with cybersecurity best practices. Our goal is to empower IT professionals with the tools and insights needed to defend against evolving threats while maintaining a secure and resilient infrastructure.

The Security and Data Privacy solution includes two core services: Assessment and Consulting, and Monitoring and Response. These services are designed to work together to identify vulnerabilities, implement best practices, and respond to threats in real time. UTN’s security team partners with institutions to deliver tailored guidance, continuous monitoring, and rapid mitigation strategies that align with the unique needs of healthcare environments.

Assessment and Consulting

UTN’s expert-led Assessment and Consulting services provide a comprehensive evaluation of your institution’s cybersecurity and data privacy posture. We help you identify vulnerabilities, align with industry standards, and develop actionable strategies to mitigate risk and achieve long-term resilience.

Included Services

• Penetration Testing. UTN conducts simulated cyberattacks to identify vulnerabilities in systems, networks, or applications before malicious actors can exploit them.
• Security Framework Assessments. Evaluation of your organization’s security posture against established frameworks (e.g., CIS-CSC, NIST) to identify gaps and recommend improvements.
• Security Design Consulting. UTN provides expert guidance on building secure systems and architectures tailored to your organization’s needs and risk profile.
• Incident Responses (Limited). Offers initial support and guidance during cybersecurity incidents to help contain threats and minimize impact.
• Event Monitoring. Continuously monitors systems and networks for suspicious activity, enabling early detection and response to potential threats.

Network Monitoring and Response

UTN’s Monitoring and Response service provides real-time network oversight to detect and respond to cybersecurity threats across our network. It leverages advanced analytics and threat intelligence to identify suspicious activity and mitigate risks before they impact operations. This service enables institutions to maintain secure and reliable connectivity while reducing the burden on local IT teams.

Included Services

• Denial of Service Attack Mitigation. Automated and manual defenses to detect and neutralize DoS and DDoS attacks, ensuring network availability and performance.
• Traffic Flow Analysis. By monitoring and analyzing network traffic patterns to identify potential threats and performance issues, UTN helps improve network security and incident detection.
• Traffic Blocking. UTN proactively blocks malicious or unauthorized network traffic based on threat intelligence and policy enforcement.
• DNS Security. Through secure DNS filtering and monitoring, UTN helps protect against DNS-based threats such as spoofing, tunneling, and phishing.
