Healthcare Cybersecurity Is Difficult to Maintain, How a Security Operations Center Can Help

The rise in cyber incidents and ransomware are driving the need for greater cybersecurity in US hospitals and health systems, says Preston Duren, VP of Cybersecurity Operations at Fortified Health Security. With the cost of cyber incident remediation reaching $10m, and cyber insurance costs rising, Duren emphasizes the need for a security operations centre (SOC), offering 24/7 monitoring and threat analysis. Advantages include fulfilling regulatory requirements, while fighting cybercrime, particularly in smaller, rural hospitals that lack resources.
