Summary
CIOs and CISOs in healthcare are addressing the fallout from breaches involving Oracle Health's Cerner Legacy servers, which have compromised patient data. Although Oracle has not confirmed the breaches, sources indicate hackers targeted these outdated systems, which still hold sensitive information yet to be migrated to the cloud. The lack of transparency from Oracle has raised concerns, especially as the full extent of the breach remains unreported to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Experts like Scott Mattila emphasize the risks of legacy systems, which are appealing to cybercriminals due to weak security. Healthcare leaders are encouraged to activate incident response plans, enhance monitoring for unusual activities, and strengthen access management as they navigate these cybersecurity challenges.
