Prophylactic Cybersecurity for Healthcare

In healthcare, preventative medicine is always more effective, less costly, and has better outcomes than waiting until after a serious heart incident occurs. It’s an apt analogy for cybersecurity as well. Prophylactic (preventative) care in cybersecurity yields far better outcomes than constantly scrambling to respond to critical incidents. Yet, many healthcare organizations find themselves buried by an avalanche of newly discovered vulnerabilities and regulatory pressures.
