Commitment is critical to a successful security program, and that commitment isn’t just to the technology and processes. The human component is especially important, whether you want your customers to have confidence in your organization’s ability to protect their data, or whether you need to persuade the C-Suite that the benefits of a solid security plan outweigh the costs. Is there a relationship between security and the patient experience? Do patients and their families notice security issues when they’re in contact with our clinicians and staff? Does it matter? Welcome to Code Red, the HIMSS’ podcast on information security in healthcare. Our guest on this episode is Dan Dodson, President of Fortified Health Security. Dan and I had a chance to sit down at the HIMSS global conference in Las Vegas to discuss how to better manage the way security is perceived by customers and staff. In this conversation, we also discuss the tricky area of demonstrating ROI on security. This Episode’s GuestDan L. Dodson, MBAPresident Fortified Health SecurityConnect with Dan

The HIMSS Cybersecurity Call to Action includes an appeal to use a cybersecurity framework across the sector. There are several out there to choose from and, as we state in our call, HIMSS recommends the NIST Cybersecurity Framework. In our latest cybersecurity survey, we asked respondents whether or not they used a framework, and if so, which one they used. While we learned that the majority of respondents that do use a framework use NIST, HITRUST and Critical Security Controls, we also learned that about 17 percent of the respondents use no framework at all. Welcome to Code Red, the HIMSS cybersecurity podcast. In this episode, we wanted to look more deeply into the issue of frameworks how they’re used and implemented; I spoke to Bayardo Alvarez, director of information technology at Boston Pain Care, and Sean Murphy, Vice president and CISO at Premera Blue Cross about their choice and use of frameworks.As you’ll hear, they’ve made different choices, represent very different organizations, and are at different phases of implementation.

In the fight to keep health data safe, every node on your network is a potential battlefield. The fight is easy to notice on the laptops, desktops, smart phones and tablets every time you get a notification a new update or patch has been sent out. But how easy is it to notice in the next theater of combat, the war to secure connected medical devices? Welcome to Code Red, HIMSS’ cybersecurity podcast. On this episode, we speak with someone who is focused on battle between hackers and healthcare systems to secure connected medical devices. We are joined today by George Gray, Chief Technology Officer and VP of Research & Development at smart pump manufacturer, Ivenix. In a conversation recorded at HIMSS18, George and I discuss the paradigm shift cybersecurity is causing in the medical device marketplace, practical tips for healthcare organizations on how they can protect their networked medical devices, and the role healthcare organizations can play as customers in demanding better security from the medical devices they purchase.

Cybersecurity can be a complex topic, and that complexity seems to increase with each new vulnerability or threat identified. How do you keep track of everything you’re supposed to do in order to protect your data, your organization, your patients? Where do you start? There are tools to help keep track and stay organized, and in this episode of Code Red, we’re going to talk about just one of those tools, the NIST Cybersecurity framework. Frameworks provide user guidance to help your organization enhance its ability to, in the language of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework:IdentifyProtectDetectRespond andRecoverafter a cybersecurity incident. In this episode, we speak with Matthew Barrett, Program Manager, Cybersecurity Framework at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, on the ways healthcare organizations can leverage the NIST Cybersecurity Framework to help keep their health data safe.

What are the security threats your organization perceives to be most urgent to mitigate? Do you have the capabilities to implement those controls? Sometimes you need to go outside and bring in a third party to help. But what do you look for when searching for a vendor? How do you build a true partnership? Finally, is there still room for innovation in the security realm? That’s a lot of questions, and we’ve got the answers! On this episode of Code Red, you’ll hear from Patrick Streck, Senior Director IT at Baystate Healthcare. Our other guest is Aaron Miri, CIO and VP Government Relations at Imprivata. Patrick and Aaron talk about the way Baystate and Imprivata work together to address security issues. This episode is about the customer/vendor relationship, specific to the security space. While these are just two of many providers and security vendors, Patrick and Aaron were kind enough to share some great tips that worked for these two organizations; perhaps these will help you as well.

Imagine you work at a hospital and you are responsible for the health and wellbeing of thousands of patients a year. That’s not such a stretch. Many of us listening to this podcast are in this situation. You are in charge of the information systems at the hospital and all the data is your responsibility, whether clinical or operational. And you’re responsible for maintaining the privacy and security of that data. Let’s add a little pressure: imagine your hospital is attacked by hacktivist group with a political agenda—and, it’s a children’s hospital. What would you do?Welcome to Code Red, HIMSS’ cybersecurity focused podcast. In this episode, we hear from Daniel Nigrin, MD, MS, Sr. Vice President and CIO at Boston Children’s Hospital.

There’s a shortage of people qualified to work in cybersecurity, and we need to do something about that. But what is that “something?” Let’s be honest here, we’re not going to change that situation overnight. It takes years to acquire the kind of skills needed to pursue the education, experience and credentials required. But what can we do in the meantime? We’ve said it before on Code Red: we’re all involved in security, to one degree or another. What can we do to effectively raise awareness and change behavior?This episode’s guest offers some insights. While at our annual conference in Orlando, Code Red sat down to discuss these and other issues with Servio Medina, CISSP, Chief Operating Officer of the Cybersecurity Policy Branch at the US Defense Health Agency. Servio sees opportunities in changing the way we think about educating each other in this field, and discusses burnout, math, lifestyles and other topics, and how they relate to cyber-education. After listening to this episode, the phrase “It makes sense to me” will take on a whole new dimension.

When it comes to cybersecurity, the enemy holds many advantages. They run the timetable. They establish the rules of engagement. And in a culture that exults the bandit, the pirate, and the hacker, they find many fellow travelers in dark places, on the web and in the world. But for every bandit there is a sheriff. This age is no different. Rather than wearing badges and walking dusty wooden sidewalks, today’s cybersecurity sheriffs wear suits and roam the network, looking for vulnerabilities to fix before they are exploited. Rather than protecting the townsfolk with a steady hand and trusty Colt, today’s cybersecurity sheriffs wield effective governance plans and the leadership to convince their organization that lazy passwords and curious clicks are the keys to the loot that bandits are riding off into the sunset with today. Welcome HIMSS’s new health IT cybersecurity podcast, Code Red. Code Red focuses on cybersecurity challenges facing health care today & tomorrow, featuring the voices of the people on the front lines. The goal of the podcast is to explore the interplay between the people, processes & technologies that make up an organization’s cybersecurity posture from both a leadership & skills-based perspective. In today’s episode, we will explore how to successfully design and implement effective cybersecurity governance with 2016 Chicago CISO of the Year, Todd Fitzgerald, Global Director Information Security for Grant Thornton International.

This Episode’s GuestGreg WolvertonChief Information OfficerARcareLearn more about GregFollow Greg on Twitter: @GregWolvertonLearn more about ARcareUniversity of Houston professor Brené Brown understands the strength that comes from embracing our vulnerabilities. “When we spend our lives”, Brown says, “waiting until we’re perfect or bulletproof before we walk into the arena, we ultimately sacrifice relationships and opportunities that may not be recoverable, we squander our precious time, and we turn our backs on our gifts, those unique contributions that only we can make. Perfect and bulletproof are seductive, but they don’t exist in the human experience.”In an age of ubiquitous cybersecurity threats, it takes a strong organization to embrace its vulnerabilities. To understand that true strength comes from the willingness to examine and reexamine our weaknesses. To lead by the need to learn about ourselves. To lead by the need to share with others.

Let’s accept the fact that we want to feel secure in some way, whether it is secure in our jobs, our relationships, or our personal safety and wellbeing. We want the best for our families, our business endeavors or, as in healthcare, for the other people for whom we have some degree of responsibility. But how do you place a value on the effort we make to create a secure environment? In this episode of Code Red, we talk with Fred Cox, Director of Information Security at Varian Medical Systems about the financial implications of cybersecurity, including direct and indirect costs of security, the idea of table stakes and behavior analytics, and at which point the concept of cybersecurity’s ROI can effectively be considered.

On March 12, 2008, the New York Times reported about a team of computer security researchers from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and the Universities of Washington and Massachusetts that able to gain wireless access and reprogram a combination heart defibrillator and pacemaker to deliver potentially fatal jolts of electricity to a person with the device. Since that zero day nine years ago, the health care industry has moved up to top of the list for cybersecurity attacks. Since that zero day nine years ago, millions of pacemakers have been implanted worldwide. Since that zero day nine years ago, the mobile device market has been forecasted to have 8-Billion-dollar market value by 2019.

Need to know the dosage for a patient’s medication? Tough, pay me. Need to know the lab results for that biopsy? Tough, pay me. Need to access your notes to reconsider a patient’s prognosis? Tough, pay me.Well, this is a new problem, isn’t it? Paper records on a shelf? Pretty hard to walk off with those. You can keep an eye on those. You can lock a door on those. Electronic records on your database? Take a number. Who isn’t after them? Who isn’t going to earn more money on the street today, on this very day, from those records than you are? Because we all know negotiating a new world of evolving health care revenue models is challenging. Because we all know that their revenue model is one of the world’s oldest and easiest to understand. You want it, I got it. You want it, I got it. Now let’s see how bad you want it back.So how does a newly digitized health care industry react to all this attention from a long-ago digitized criminal industry? How can health care organizations operate in a marketplace that asks them to share data both widely and securely?

So here’s what keeps me up at night: The neighbor’s barking dog. The stray firecracker that goes off at 2:30. And Patients. Millions of patients. And when I say patients, I really mean people. Millions of people whose most intimate details… their stories…have been laid bare for the world to see on behalf of the highest bidder. Millions of people who have to wonder who knows about their recent bout of depression. Or who knows about their history of high blood pressure and their medication for it? What about that cancer scare? And if that isn’t enough, that these people have to wonder, whose got my social security number? How many accounts have been opened in my name? How many purchases made with my credit? Collectively, we have to wonder if we can ever be truly secure? Are our physical and virtual lives irreversibly intertwined? Is the idea of privacy even a valid concept anymore? These questions, for which there are no easy answers, are some of the things that keep me up at night. I bet they keep you up too. So here’s what keeps me going each day. For every malicious hacker, there is a white-hatted one. For every attack on a server, there is a dedicated IT security professional ready to respond. For every malicious line of code, there is one created to defend against the malice.So how do we respond? How does the health care sector deal with the cybersecurity issue? Who do we look to for leadership and guidance through the battles ahead of us? Welcome to HIMSS’s new health IT cybersecurity podcast, Code Red.
