A recent survey indicated that most companies do not utilize a data security vendor until after a data breach, which could affect the effectiveness of healthcare cybersecurity policies.
While healthcare data breaches were the most reported data security incident in the year 2015, it is not shocking that more agencies are employing or seeking a third-party managed security services vendor to assist identify and react to healthcare cybersecurity threats. Yet, many healthcare agencies are waiting until a significant data loss before using cybersecurity professionals.
According to a recent survey from Raytheon and the Ponemon Institute, about two thirds of businesses reported that their agencies only engage a cybersecurity vendor after a significant data breach occurs. This reactive approach to data security has been attributed to an increase in data loss.
