Organizations depend on data, and keeping data safe from cyberattacks can't be just the domain of IT anymore. Companies need a clear, comprehensive cyber resilience plan for managing all aspects of data and setting cross-functional responsibilities for keeping that data safe.

The U.S. healthcare sector is inadequately prepared to deal with the reality of cyber threats. The increasing use of smart medical equipment and mobile devices is making healthcare organizations more susceptible to ransomware and other types of malware. The size and complexity of operations, coupled with the presence of numerous legacy and incompatible systems, make it difficult to implement effective cybersecurity measures. The daunting nature of the problem often results in an if-it-ain't-broke-don't-fix-it stance among senior healthcare leaders. The preponderance of healthcare related laws, compliance regulations, and security guidance frameworks serve to complicate the cybersecurity challenge further and too often results in senior leadership assuming a state of blissful ignorance. This study sheds light on the key factors contributing to the chaotic state of affairs and presents a roadmap to a more deliberate and proactive approach to cybersecurity risk management.
