Cyber-Risk Lifecycle Management Tool Appeals to Cedars-Sinai CISO

As healthcare organizations strive to innovate, their Achilles' heel has been the growing attack surface that such innovation exposes to criminals. One healthcare organization is responding by incorporating more agile risk management technology into its IT infrastructure.

"Managing cybersecurity is a little more complicated in an organization that prides itself on innovation, when risk is part of the equation," says George Carion, chief technology officer and chief information security officer at Cedars-Sinai, a Los Angeles nonprofit academic healthcare system. To help, Cedars-Sinai has turned to Censinet which recently announced additional software to help health systems manage enterprise risk in a complex, multi-vendor world.

That service is made available to providers on a subscription basis. The expanded offering helps providers with the many complexities of risk management of the technology they use. "The mission of cybersecurity is largely about the reduction and management of risk," Carion says. "The need here is to move fast, but do it carefully."
