The combination of new technologies and increased connectivity has the power to enhance the healthcare sector, but it is crucial for IT managers to fully understand the downside of these developments: increased connectivity expands the attack targets in the technology environment.

That’s where teamwork comes in. Of all the cybersecurity solutions created to prevent bad actors from breaching healthcare organizations, it’s the people on the incident response teams who are most vital, according to HealthTech. To build a strong and resilient security operations team, security experts recommend a series of actions.

For example, IT managers need to build clear communication strategies. Organizations should establish internal and external communication pathways for sharing information about potential and known breaches. Security teams need to know when to contact top administrators, as well as IT personnel, contractors and employees outside of IT.
