Digital transformations require strategies for unique cyber vulnerabilities

Visiting Nurse Services of New York (VNSNY) is undergoing a technology overhaul as it migrates to the cloud to better support its range of care delivery services. However, as the organization transforms digitally, it must also manage cybersecurity risks. VNSNY’s IT and cybersecurity officer, Justin Bain, stresses the importance of involving the security team from the beginning of the design process, conducting risk assessments during the build, and performing post-implementation audits to ensure controls are effective. Additionally, he highlights the need to focus on the biggest threats, such as ransomware and phishing, and recommends considering security when outsourcing IT functions.
