Three ways for healthcare CISOs to modernize security

CISOs in healthcare organizations need to take a proactive mindset and embrace their role as diplomats in order to modernize their organizations and enhance security. They should bring together different departments and build bridges between IT staff, security teams, public safety, physical security, human resources, and management. It is also important to manage risk appropriately by assessing the risks of running legacy equipment or outdated systems. CISOs should take advantage of the shift to hybrid work models and leverage cloud technologies for enhanced security and productivity. Additionally, focusing on identity and authentication technologies can help gain staff buy-in. Ultimately, CISOs play a crucial role in transforming healthcare organizations to be more secure, productive, and engaging.
