Healthcare cybersecurity threats will continue to evolve as healthcare facilities adopt the latest technology, according to an article on the Healthcare IT Security website.

“There's a lot of data that winds up on end points, a lot of data that's very distributed,” Citrix Chief Security Strategist Kurt Roemer said. “You have a lot of healthcare professionals that are contractors and other third parties and operate as independents and maybe work for multiple facilities.”
