"Healthcare's latest data breach, affecting 4.5 million patients, offers the industry a sobering reminder that is simply isn't doing enough to protect patient data from known security threats," reports CIO. "In the days since Community Health System announced a data breach affecting 4.5 million patients, the security community has responded by telling healthcare organizations to stay the course. At its essence, that message means two things: Remain vigilant and don't fall asleep at the switch." The article notes that the FBI and other government agencies would like to be more timely in issuing flash bulletins that hackers are targeting healthcare firms. "Security of healthcare systems is also lax because data resides on legacy systems that go unpatched and "partly because security and privacy provisions are largely uninformaced and unaudited."
