Healthcare IT Today Interviews

Simple Basics Are Still Needed to Thwart Cyber Threats

Every business can suffer financially and reputationally from Denial of Service attacks or ransomware, but in healthcare, patient safety is at risk. In this video, two cybersecurity experts advise healthcare organizations not to fret over AI and advanced attacks, but to shore up the “basic fundamentals”: training against phishing attacks, practicing responses to attacks, and proven cyber technologies.

Ryan Witt, Managing Director, Industries Solutions Group at Proofpoint, guides viewers on how to apportion scarce resources. Figure out who is most likely to be attacked. (Interestingly, for reasons you can learn in the video, hospices are common targets.)
Tom Stafford, Director, Healthcare Strategy at CDW, has a chance to talk with and advice a lot of healthcare organizations. One of the suggestions he shares regularly is in order to prepare for ransomware, do table-top exercises involving many departments, including senior leadership.
