The constant threat of an Information Systems breach has necessitated that healthcare organizations focus an increasing amount of time, energy, and money on shoring up their cybersecurity strategies. While government regulations provide some guidance on which data and privacy protections are required, and what the penalties for not taking the appropriate steps to protect health information, organizations are left to their own on how to best address ever growing cybersecurity risks. Where large health systems may have dedicated security engineers on staff, many small and midsized healthcare organizations have struggled with how to best utilize their limited resources to address these new threats. Without a formal cybersecurity strategy, they sometimes find themselves investing in new technology to combat risks only to find out later that they haven’t addressed the entire problem.
