Understanding the weak points of HHS security
Five things you can do to start improving your agency’s cybersecurity posture
Health and human services agencies, like any business or government organization, must contend with the ongoing cybersecurity threats. However, the sensitive nature of their data and the critical services they provide increase the stakes significantly.
Managing a cybersecurity defense is not something that can be “checked done” and forgotten. It’s an ongoing effort with evolving parameters. Agency efforts to modernize IT infrastructure and offer new services can expand their attack surface, and new technologies empower cyber criminals to be more prolific and sophisticated.
Effective security requires a multi-layered, organization-wide approach, with both technology and process transformation. It can be a daunting challenge, but agencies that understand this are better prepared to mount an effective defense.
This article outlines five steps that agencies can take now to improve their security posture and overall approach to cyber threats.
