Effective security governance in a healthcare entity is a balancing act that requires sponsorship by top leadership and careful consideration of the concerns of clinicians and others in the organization, according to Eric Liederman and deputy CISO Steven Frank of Kaiser Permanente.

The FDA's new cybersecurity policy is a "watershed moment" for the industry, says Kevin Fu of Northeastern University. The agency will soon begin rejecting manufacturers' new medical device submissions that lack detailed cybersecurity measures, which will help ensure uniformity, he says.

New resources released Monday from a high-profile federal advisory group provide insights into the state of healthcare sector preparedness and best practices for dealing with evolving cyberthreats, according to Erik Decker, CISO of Intermountain Healthcare and co-chair of the task force.

Healthcare entities of all types and sizes could be the next targets of major cybersecurity attacks, said Nitin Natarajan, deputy director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Healthcare firms need to be vigilant against ransomware, DDoS and medical device breaches, he said.

The sheer volume of federal regulations in place makes it almost impossible for agencies to monitor and comply with all of them, much less understand the impact of new ones. Nick Graham of Skyhigh Security explores the many compliance challenges - and how to overcome them.

A 3-month-old federal law meant to future-proof federal computers from quantum computer decryption will have an effect on healthcare sector entities, too, says Mac McMillan, founder and CEO emeritus of privacy and security consulting firm CynergisTek.

In this podcast, Rodman Ramezanian, global cloud threat lead at Skyhigh Security, discusses why the risk of data breaches is so high, how security teams can protect data wherever it resides, and why security leaders should embrace a new mindset for data protection.

In this episode of "Cybersecurity Unplugged," Craig Box, vice president of open source and community at ARMO, discusses the complexity of using Kubernetes in a hybrid cloud environment, the need to understand "how these moving parts work together" and potential use of Kubernetes with 5G.

In this episode of "Cybersecurity Unplugged," Patricia Muoio, a partner at SineWave Ventures, discusses the need for cyber resilience as security leaders face the inevitable stream of cybercrimes, how to achieve it through a zero trust approach, and how CISOs and the government can help.

In this episode of "Cybersecurity Unplugged," Chris "Tito" Sestito discusses technology to protect neural networks and artificial intelligence and machine-learning models, and John Kindervag explains how such technology fits into the zero trust framework.
