Q&A with Asante CISO Alfonso Powers: CISOs Must Figure out How to do More With Less

While funding and staffing for IT security teams may not be on the rise, the number of third-parties that health systems are using – and thus the number of potential attack vectors into those health systems – is, leaving CISOs in the unenviable position of having to figure out how to more with less, says Alfonso Powers, CISO at Asante. To accomplish that, he’s looking at automation and other technologies.
