Alison Diana: 10 Ways To Strengthen Healthcare Security
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 08/26/2014 - 16:53
- Hire a CSO- Security is too complex, too integral, and too fluid to be one of many tasks on a to-do list
- Untie the CSO's hands- CSOs should report to the CEO; otherwise, their authority is eroded
- Take a corporate selfie- Before discovering what they need to do, healthcare organizations must take stock of everything they own and use
- Cover the basics- Automated tools that address anticipated weaknesses save IT time and add another layer of security
- Buy lunch- It's critical for security experts to regularly meet with healthcare users to discuss their pain points, wishes, and preferences
- Build a culture- Everyone in the organization must review prospective initiatives' risks versus benefits
- Look to the G-men- After the CHS was hacked the FBI and DHS pledged to continue efforts to educate healthcare organizations about potential threats
- Learn from other industries- Healthcare is relatively new to digitization, and that means it can be educated from industries who had to learn the hard way
- Bullet-proof BYOD- A successful BYOD program will take precautions, including a mobility usage policy that details employee responsibilities, education, and penalties
- Secure wireless- Wireless networks face a steadily increasing load -- and are more attractive to external and internal threats
