Tackling Healthcare Cybersecurity with Risk Identity, Assessment
TTS
Continuous risk identification and assessment is now a crucial part of healthcare security given today’s ever-evolving threat landscape. Security programs must be proactive in order to keep pace, leveraging tools and processes that provide visibility into an organization’s cloud, virtual, remote, local, and containerized infrastructure.
The healthcare sector faces greater vulnerabilities than most industries due to limited resources and often outdated platforms, as well as a long list of medical devices that typically operate on legacy systems. Prioritization and remediation are key to vulnerability management and improving an organization’s overall security posture.
