An Inside Look at the State of Cybersecurity in Healthcare

Throughout the pandemic, every industry had its share of challenges. Companies across the spectrum of industries moved mountains to keep the lights on, keep the economy going, and adjust to a dramatic change in how business got done.  

Cindi Bassford, of Guidehouse, discusses that, while nothing was more impressive than the frontline Healthcare workers and how they put patients first and used innovation to get people the care they needed, the industry also rallied, facing bad actors that capitalized on the pandemic’s disruption. Looking at how cybercriminals took the opportunity to exploit the stresses on the Healthcare system, she digs into how important cybersecurity really is.
