Meeting Tomorrow's Risk Challenges
In understanding the threats healthcare organi-
zations face tomorrow, they are simply mutations
of the threats we face today. How will healthcare
security executives navigate this complex portfolio
of exposures to best protect their organizations? If
you have made it this far in the article you most
likely can predict the recommendation I have for
today 's security executive to address emerging
threats. The mitigation strategy for this year 's
emerging threats will be the same as next years and
the many years to follow. Develop a strategy that
promotes the agile adaptation of your team and
available resources regardless of emerging threats.
In the coming years (if not already) threats will
change and present inside typical planning cycles
and exploit gaps in those healthcare organizations
not prepared to respond. The ability to adapt in an
agile manner will promote the success of health-
care security now and in the future. In the end,
sustainable success will require healthcare secu-
rity executives to rely more and more on a unified
approach to prevention, preparedness and protec-
tion that can quickly adapt to remediate prioritized
threats. We must adapt our teams, protocols and
protection models in an agile manner to prevent
harm as close to potential onset as possible.
If agile adaptation is the answer, what subjects
should we all study to prepare? My recommenda-
tions would be the visualization of data-driven;
value-based outcomes, a process and/or program
recalibration methodology and a robust training
and development plan. Finally, healthcare security
professionals will need to reimagine recruiting and
talent development in pursuit of aligning innovative
thinking and team skill sets with threat remediation.
A commitment to excellence in these areas will help
prepare healthcare security teams to adapt and meet
the challenges tomorrow in a unified and financially
responsible manner.
