MARIETTA, Ga., April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Healthcare is among the top seven targets of cyber thieves with its valuable cache of data and wellspring of potential victims. Since 2010, the healthcare industry has endured the highest data breach costs compared to other sectors, with each breach costing over $10 million in 2023. (2) David Lee, The Identity Jedi and Chief Evangelist and Visionary for Tech Diversity, observes, "Healthcare is an outlier in cybersecurity because they're often playing catch-up due to their reliance on closed-off technology that limits integrations with external partners, leaving them more vulnerable to cyber threats. The industry must venture outside its purview to gain third-party insights on fixing their Identity and Access Management (IAM) blind spots."    

Key Points: 
  • David Lee, The Identity Jedi, Chief Evangelist, and Visionary for Tech Diversity, urges the healthcare sector to reprioritize the importance of cybersecurity measures to protect the welfare of its patients and its industry.
  • The industry must venture outside its purview to gain third-party insights on fixing their Identity and Access Management (IAM) blind spots."
  • The Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has developed a Zero Trust Maturity Model to transition to a zero trust architecture.
  • Lee emphasizes, "Cybersecurity technology like IAM, SBOMs, and zero-trust architecture, in and of itself, is not a magical elixir.
