For the 14th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we sat down with Steven Ramirez, CISO at UofL Health. Outside of COVID, my guess is that security threats is the topic that most keeps CIOs up at night.
In this episode, Ramirez shares some of the ways he’s had success getting support for his security efforts. Plus, more importantly he talks about the need for doing a continuous assessment of his organization’s IT security practices and areas of risk and how he approaches this with limited resources. Ramirez also shares how he tries to stay up to date on the latest security technology and practices.
If you’re a CIO or CISO at a healthcare organization, you’ll enjoy this episode on getting buy-in for security efforts and balancing all the competing priorities.
