“In times when delivering patient care is critical, it is vital that healthcare organizations prepare themselves with any and all insight into their cybersecurity and risk posture,” said Denise Anderson, CEO, H-ISAC. “Today, we have joined forces with RiskRecon to help H-ISAC members and healthcare organizations worldwide assess their digital footprint for cybersecurity issues that are commonly exploited by hackers.

This partnership gives them access to the insights that help safeguard their systems, staff and patients.”
