WASHINGTON and SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 16, 2024-Through its agreement with Google Public Sector and Deloitte, Covered California illustrates the increasing role of AI in cybersecurity within public systems, especially in safeguarding information in health systems.
Using Google Security Operations, the organization optimizes its capability to combat and respond to cyber threats in a timely manner. Thanks to Gemini AI, the system is able not just to conduct but in addition create and execute threat searches, summarize results, and recommend fixes, all of which contribute to decreasing the length of time in response to incidents.
The cooperation aims to strengthen the system and security of CalHEERS, California’s health insurance exchange system that allows hundreds and thousands of Californians to search for and buy health insurance coverage.
This added layer of protection is very important because CalHEERS contains and processes a lot of Protected health information (PHI) and personally identifiable information (PII) that attracts hackers.
Since the system was launched in June, the deployment of AI-powered security tools helped not only accelerate the process of identifying and mitigating threats but also helped Covered California achieve a better understanding of its security level.
Kunal Shah, principal at Deloitte Consulting LLP, stated, “Our collaboration will make sure that California retains its edge over the moving targets yet complies with state and federal law.”
This collaboration is part of a larger picture, where, in the case of the public sector, advanced the use of AI and cloud technology to protect critical infrastructure and data against constantly mutating cyber threats.
