Dan L. Dodson is CEO of Fortified Health Security. He is the author of the “2021 Horizon Report” on the state of cybersecurity in healthcare. Through Dan’s leadership, Fortified Health Security partners with healthcare organizations to effectively develop the best path forward for their security program based on their unique needs and challenges.
