Webinar Review: Healthcare Security: A Great Story to Tell
In this webinar, Eric Smith, CPP, Director of Security for Exempla Healthcare, endeavored to explain how to prove security’s value to not just the C-Suite, but to the whole enterprise. Hint: It involves some clever dabbling in public relations.
A major problem within security, says Smith, is explaining and justifying the expense of security initiatives in healthcare. Security leaders are also facing negative stereotypes, such as the “mall cop” notion, as well as issues within security leadership itself, such as the police mentality toward the media and public – the “nothing to see here” statement is not a viable option for healthcare institutions.
