The commentary discusses the increasing likelihood of government agencies holding CEOs personally accountable for insufficient corporate investment in cybersecurity. Historically, consumers bear the brunt of cyber breaches through stolen identities and financial losses while companies recover quickly. Governments traditionally ensure public safety in exchange for contributions, but the digital age has complicated this with private companies holding sensitive data. The Biden administration's National Cybersecurity Strategy pushes for corporate accountability, exemplified by the SEC’s actions against SolarWinds. The current focus on CISOs is seen as flawed, with many fearing personal liability and opting out of their roles. Increasingly, the shift is moving towards CEOs being held liable, emphasizing the need for them to prioritize and understand cybersecurity investments actively.

Employer-sponsored health plans do not change primarily because employers are satisfied with them. According to the 2022 KFF Employee Benefits Survey, 87% of employers are satisfied with the quality of healthcare, 88% with access, 66% with cost, 76% with member engagement, and 82% with primary care. However, only early adopters with a mission and vision for change are inclined to make changes. For a disruptive healthcare startup to succeed, it must target early adopter employers that are self-funded, have a cost-reduction problem, recently changed top executives, and include a hyper-polished salesperson among the founders. A superior product and value proposition alone will fail without these segmentation and sales strategies. Sources: AHealthcareZ YouTube Channel.
