Cybersecurity Awareness Month
As cyber threats continue to emerge, especially in the healthcare industry, it is important for employees to stay informed on the latest threat landscape. Enterprise Product & Information Cybersecurity (EPIC) maintains its focus on identifying the most crucial cybersecurity risks.
“Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and efficient with enhanced capabilities and increased collaboration among threat actors,” said Brent Cieszynski, vice president, Chief Information Security Officer - BCBSM. “Our security measures must advance along with the current threats and technology.”
EPIC is improving the cyber security posture of the enterprise by educating employees, improving foundational capabilities, and implementing security services across the organization.
“Information security is the responsibility of each employee, not just employees that handle protected health information,” Cieszynski said.
EPIC has various tools and trainings available to help employees avoid being targets of a scam, while protecting and securing company information.
Cyber incidents against the healthcare system can have an impact on NASCO even if not directly related. Having an up-to-date cyber incident response and effective protocols allows employees to be prepared in the event of a threat or disruption.
