Healthcare Security: Improving Network Defenses While Serving Patients

Safeguarding patient information is critical for healthcare providers. From HIPAA regulations for patient record privacy to PCI standards for credit card processing, there are many areas where information can be compromised.

In our newly released white paper, Healthcare Security: Improving Network Defenses While Serving Patients, we identify areas in which healthcare organizations can make changes to better address threats facing their organizations by implementing improved security defenses.

In a related study, we surveyed CISOs and SecOps managers and found that:

● Chief information security officers (CISOs) in healthcare are more likely than security operations (SecOps) managers to believe that their security processes are optimal.

● Healthcare organizations do not implement as many strong security defenses as organizations in other industries.

● When healthcare organizations experience a breach, they may be more likely to implement a wider array of security defenses.

We invite you to read the new White Paper to learn how Cisco can help enable compliance and help you to prevent your organization from suffering a potentially devastating cyberattack.
