Becker’s Health IT Conference Recap: Healthcare’s Cybersecurity Reckoning

What you'll learn

• Act immediately and don’t waste the crisis. Use downtime to modernize. One organization completed an accelerated RFP during the Change Healthcare outage, from signature to go-live in 25 days and cut costs by 75% .
• Plan for long-term outages. Build clinical continuity procedures by department, assuming 30+ days of disruption.
• Make cybersecurity everyone’s responsibility. Department heads must own their risk, and vendors should be included in tabletop exercises.
• Demand solutions that deliver instant protection. Defenses must be operational in hours or days , not quarters.
• Monitor behavior, not credentials. Real-time monitoring exposes anomalies certifications can’t.
• Share intelligence. A threat detected by one organization should protect all.
