Measuring Healthcare and Hospital Cybersecurity Performance by BitSight

Improving cybersecurity starts with measuring risk. Unfortunately, measuring the state of Healthcare security — and hospitals in particular — has been a subjective practice based on surveys and qualitative data. New research from Eric Johnson (Dean, Vanderbilt Business School) gathers hard, quantitative performance data to answer key questions:

• How are hospitals performing when it comes to cybersecurity?
• How do they benchmark against larger, Fortune 1000 companies?
• What vulnerabilities are proving most challenging to health care organizations?
• Is there a relationship between cybersecurity preparedness and data breaches?

Dean Johnson will discuss his findings with Michael D’Arezzo, CISO of Wellstar Shared Services, and Tom Montroy, Director of Data Science at BitSight, as the panel discusses the latest research and provides recommendations for Healthcare and Hospital CISOs to improve their cybersecurity posture to avoid ransomware and cyber incidents.
