MOVING TO A CULTURE OF TRUST IN DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION – PERSPECTIVES FROM THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY https://lnkd.in/eVSXaKgU
This post was originally published here by (ISC)² Management. The move to a paperless system to improve health and social care is an ambition central to many governments around the world. (ISC)² recently held a roundtable event in London, United Kingdom (UK) inviting several people who work within the sector and the country’s National Public Health Service (NHS) to explore a range of current issues, including the reasons why patients were showing a reluctance to trust efforts to protect their personal data.

Understanding the importance of exposure management in healthcare environments is foundational to securing your network. This blog explores what #ExposureManagement is, why it’s so critical for #healthcare organizations, and our top considerations when putting it into practice. Read here: https://hubs.li/Q02HctYS0
Here's a little ditty I put together related to the challenges in securing #healthcare systems.
⚕The challenges in the space are plentiful. Budget constraints often lead to outdated #hardware and #software, as financial resources are prioritized for direct #patient care. A shortage of skilled #IT professionals and high turnover rates, making it difficult to maintain robust #security programs. (Not taking away from those that are fighting the good fight in HIT, but we know you're burnt out)
💻The complexity of these IT environments, which involves integrating various systems and devices, including #legacy systems, adds to the difficulty of securing them.
🎯Then there is the relentless cyberattacks that healthcare organizations face. #Ransomware attacks severely disrupt operations and compromise patient care. #Phishing attacks trick recipients into revealing sensitive information, affecting both healthcare professionals and patients. Supply chain attacks target #vulnerabilities in third-party components, with the growing use of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) devices increasing the attack surface.
✨To enhance healthcare IT security, several key strategies should be implemented:
👉Proactive vulnerability management programs like U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) UPGRADE can help identify and address vulnerabilities efficiently (and hopefully automatically).
👉Allocating resources to update systems and train IT staff is crucial. Leveraging automated tools for quick #patch deployment can significantly improve security efficiency.
👉Engaging a broad range of professionals and experts fosters collaboration and the development of robust security solutions.
👉Ensuring compliance with regulations while proactively securing systems is essential.
👉Lastly, regular monitoring of systems and continuous staff training are vital to maintaining strong security practices.
Hope you find this session valuable. I certainly enjoyed making it!
