The Healthcare Cybersecurity Forum affirms reasons for those efforts, including saving lives and directing future initiatives, says Ian Mack, IT senior security analyst for the University of Virginia and HIMSS Virginia Chapter communications chair.

Science needs data, and the data used for clinical decision support models needs to be protected, says cybersecurity expert Richard Staynings, who is also a professor at the University of Denver.

HIMSS found third-party risk management is the top weak link for IT leaders and executives, with most wanting AI powered threat detection, a solution usually not done inhouse, says Jill Brewer, market insights lead.
