Why It’s Time to Go on the Offensive with Healthcare Cybersecurity

Brian Montgomery, Expert Security Engineer at Altera Digital Health, champions the underutilized concept of offensive cybersecurity within healthcare. Offensive cybersecurity involves proactive testing for system vulnerabilities, as opposed to simply reacting to threats. Despite budget and knowledge constraints, Montgomery stresses the benefits including addressing gaps in traditional cybersecurity, improving response times, and involving a hacker’s perspective in corporate training. A robust offense ensures better protection for healthcare organizations and patients.
