Exploring rural healthcare cybersecurity resource constraints


Listen Later

Rural and small healthcare entities face the same cyber threats as the nation's largest health systems, but often lack the tools to combat them in the same way. From funding scarcity to workforce shortages, rural healthcare organizations must balance the need for an effective cybersecurity program with ongoing operational constraints. How can rural healthcare providers manage risk while understaffed and underfunded?

Featuring: Jim Roeder, vice president of IT at Lakewood Health System

In this episode, we'll cover

  • The unique cybersecurity challenges that small and rural healthcare providers face compared to their larger counterparts
  • How the cybersecurity workforce shortage has impacted rural entities' ability to attract and retain cyber talent
  • What types of government and community support would help rural healthcare organizations improve their cybersecurity programs
