Cybersecurity for business decision makers: elements of a successful plan

Developing a cybersecurity strategy for hospitals is essential for protecting patient information. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework and the HITRUST CSF can provide a foundation for policies, technologies, and skills necessary to secure data. Ransomware attacks like WannaCry have highlighted the vulnerabilities of medical devices, emphasizing the need for cyber-resilience and security awareness among healthcare staff. Risk assessments and training can help address these challenges and align with the hospital’s cybersecurity strategy.
