During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and Every Month, Healthcare has Big Challenges

Cybersecurity is really bad for lot of industries and is not just unique to healthcare. One of the things that we look at cyberthreat or cybersecurity assessment, we always wonder that what is it that the bad guys are after, who are the threat actors and what they want, or to think like organizations, what do I have that others might want, and how much effort would they put in to getting it. So, one of the big things is to assess, what is it that you have under management that some of these threat actors are interested in. The unfortunate situation is that they are well organized, they are well funded, they are increasingly more sophisticated, and more directed in their efforts.
