Establishing A Patient-Centric Vulnerability Management Program

Healthcare organizations continue to struggle with the evergrowing number of vulnerabilities, leveraging subpar prioritization mechanisms and workflows to effective achieve risk reduction. This discussion is designed to help audiences understand the limitation of traditional vulnerability management programs in healthcare environments and not only the risk this creates for patient care delivery but also how this enables the continued proliferation of ransomware.

By putting the patient at the center of the vulnerability management program, Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDOs) can greatly improve priotization and efficacy of remediation efforts, as well as maximal risk reduction results.

In this session:

• Understand the various challenges that exist with current day vulnerability management programs in healthcare environments.


• Explore additional risk parameters and device assessments that can further enhance risk identification efforts.


• Establish a holistc program that puts the patient at the center of the efforts - improve patient safety, achieve better regulatory compliance, and achieve maximum risk reduction all at once.


• Streamline and automate the elusive collaborative workflows needed between cybersecurity, information technology, and healthcare technology management teams.


• Gain tips and insights from real-world strategies and impelmentations on tangible next steps for your organization.
