The HIPAA Journal recently estimated the 2020 cost of ransomware attacks to US Healthcare at $21 billion. This reflects the impact these attacks have on downtime to patient care, as well as the ransom payouts.

If cybersecurity challenges are mounting for health systems in today’s increasingly risky global environment, why would it be any different for their third-party vendors — especially the smaller ones? What’s clear is that even the largest of health systems can only be as safe as their partners. In this episode of healthsystemCIO’s Partner Perspective Series, Anthony Guerra, editor-in-chief and founder, talks with Brian Selfridge, a partner at Meditology Services, about the issue. Selfridge says it’s just a matter of time before health systems get breached if they don’t vet and continue to monitor third-party risk. To do so, they will likely have to make an investment in staff, technology or process — or a little of all three, he says. A single breach of a key vendor can impact hundreds of health systems in one swoop, Selfridge says. “We’re seeing a lot more attention on third-party risk, from the board level to the management level, and even in the workforce.” Source: Partner Perspective: Health Systems Need New Approach to Managing Threat Posed by Third-Party Vendors on healthsystemcio.com - healthsystemCIO.com is the sole online-only publication dedicated to exclusively and comprehensively serving the information needs of healthcare CIOs.

During COVID last year, some health systems that rushed to use the cloud are finding themselves with a suboptimal setup, according to Marc Mangus, principal specialist solution architect for global healthcare with Red Hat. In this episode of healthsystemCIO’s Partner Perspective Series, Anthony Guerra, founder and editor-in-chief, asks Mangus what health system CIOs can do after extending their organizations into the cloud without taking the time to do the proper analysis and planning. Mangus talks about why on-prem is sometimes the right choice; how to get right-sized on a cloud footprint, and how to remove the internal cultural barriers that can stand in the way of optimal solutions. Mangus advises ditching the view that IT should be operating in silos and replacing it with a focus on creating value streams across the enterprise.

Digital transformation -- including telemedicine and remote patient motioning -- is causing an explosion of network-connected IoMT devices and, with it, a greatly enlarged cyber-attack surface. In this webinar, we'll hear from leaders about the strategies and security controls they are using to mitigate the risks posed by these un-agentable devices.

One result of the rise in ransomware attacks has been a more difficult and costly cyber-insurance buying process. No longer are healthcare organizations simply shopping for the best price; today, they are jumping through hoops to buy insurance at almost any price by demonstrating a sufficient mix of cybersecurity tools, risk management processes, and other policies. In this webinar, we'll hear from leaders about what insurers expect of health systems before they'll issue a policy, and how to put those things in place.  Source: Creating the Security Environment Cyber-Insurers Are Demanding on healthsystemcio.com - healthsystemCIO.com is the sole online-only publication dedicated to exclusively and comprehensively serving the information needs of healthcare CIOs.
