Ryan Witt is a true believer. As managing director of healthcare for Proofpoint, he believes deeply in the connection between providing patient care and cybersecurity. Of course, recent event have borne him out, as cyberattacks have forced health systems to return to paper for weeks, and even necessitated the diversion of patients elsewhere. Witt says he’s shocked on occasion to see some health systems not utilizing all the best practices out there. In this Partner Perspective Interview, he also notes how most cyberattacks are happening, and later identifies some new, extremely promising technologies, all as part of his effort to spread the gospel of cyber-preparedness.
