Enter the VCISO. A VCISO is a problem-solver as well as a leader. Serving as a trusted advisor to senior management in the development of a Company-Wide Security Risk Management Process to ensure best practice control.

We are amid a global pandemic. But - Long before the COVID-19 outbreak, we were already in the clutches of another disease – the ransomware pandemic. This is the first naked truth about ransomware.

Medical device manufacturers continue to develop highly sophisticated, new, and increasingly connected products. However, with this increased connectivity, comes the massive risks that will affect both providers and patients.

Even though these companies continue to heavily invest in the development of new medical device technologies, more often than not, these organizations lack the security expertise and resources to ensure high levels of security are built into these products. 

• If you do get hacked – who do you call? What are your options?
• What are trends and best practices when it comes to policies companies can impose on their employees?
