Security spoke to Joey Johnson, Chief Information Security Officer of Premise Health, a direct healthcare provider, about how healthcare security leaders can keep up with rising cybersecurity threats.

While the Kaseya, SolarWinds and other cyberattacks and global disruptors may appear dissimilar, having wildly varying causes and impacts, there is strategic value in considering them – and the supply chains they spread across – as a collective. Together, they represent a rapid learning opportunity for both adversaries and defenders – an open-source global weapons development program.

In today’s business environment security is a fundamentally functional and non-functional requirement and cannot be an afterthought where issues are chased after systems are operational. That’s why it’s vital that best practices be implemented by companies from the onset of any cloud migration strategy: backed by a robust and real-time capability to plan, investigate, and respond to all security incidents.

A proactive approach to risk management capitalizes on video surveillance, physical security, intelligence and cybersecurity coming together to provide actionable data for continued operations.
