The last three years have been characterized by rapid change, particularly with regards to tech infrastructure. Digital transformation was accelerated by the pandemic, and it became clear that cybersecurity must become a priority. Cybersecurity has become a competitive advantage, and the best CISOs now act as Chief Resilience Officers. Healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) were hit especially hard by cyberattacks, and as such are increasingly looking to cybersecurity as a form of patient safety. For HDOs, the best CISOs drive operational resilience by identifying and applying more stringent security controls, prioritizing and addressing gaps, eliminating silos, and adopting a holistic approach. Additionally, the recent PATCH Act seeks to implement baseline cybersecurity requirements for device manufacturers, and will help ensure HDOs infrastructure is safe and secure.
