1.0
  In 2009, nearly 80 million health records were breached from threats that were not properly assessed, according to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse. The trend didn’t stop there: New breaches, damaged reputations and jailed clinicians are now daily news headlines.
While every healthcare provider has some level of security protection for their networks, independent audits reveal an area almost always overlooked: software-driven devices connected to the network, from iPhones to surgical lights. As a healthcare leader, you can no longer afford not to have a firm grasp on these blind spots.
