Can’t afford a security chief? Here are the alternatives

For smaller hospitals and medical groups that cannot afford a full-time chief information security officer (CISO), alternative options include relying on the CIO, IT director, or outsourcing cybersecurity to a managed provider. A virtual CISO (vCISO) is also becoming a popular choice, as they can provide experienced and certified support to multiple organizations simultaneously. Conducting a risk analysis is essential before making a decision, and hospitals are beginning to realize the benefits of using big cloud vendors for data security.
