Healthcare Cybersecurity Under Siege: CISOs Adapt to Rising Threats

The healthcare sector is increasingly targeted by organized cyberattacks, prompting chief information security officers (CISOs) to adapt their strategies to ensure continuous patient care. The rise of ransomware has shifted the CISO's role from simply focusing on data security to an adversarial stance that involves negotiating with attackers. Erik Decker and Darren Lacey, CISOs at Intermountain Health and Johns Hopkins University, respectively, underscore the pressing challenges posed by cyber incidents and the need for improved cybersecurity measures. Their insights will be shared at the HIMSS 2024 Healthcare Cybersecurity Forum, where they will discuss the need for evolving responses to cyber threats without compromising operational integrity and patient safety.
