Recommendation by Forbes Technology Council to
Foster A Culture Of Intelligence Sharing and
Get Involved In Industry-Specific Cyber Communities
It’s imperative for healthcare providers, both large and small, to collaborate to shore up their lagging cyber defenses. Below, 20 members of Forbes Technology Council detail practical strategies that health systems, working together, can leverage to reduce the industry’s widespread and significant cyber risk.
Healthcare faces significant risk from threat activity due to the sheer volume of sensitive patient data and Internet of Things devices. Getting involved in industry-specific peer-to-peer cyber communities, such as Health-ISAC, will significantly bolster cooperative security efforts. Being cohesive in terms of operations, and building plans in tandem with all departments, will also help systems prepare for a negative incident. – Adam Jackson, 360 Privacy
