Jason Elrod, CISO of MultiCare Health System, emphasizes the need for the healthcare sector to rethink its legacy IT security approaches. Traditionally viewed as gatekeepers, security teams have placed too much emphasis on protection, often at the expense of innovation and patient care. As healthcare continues its digital transformation, Elrod advocates for a more adaptive mindset that embraces change while ensuring safety. He highlights the sector's unique operational demands, such as 24/7 access to life-saving information and the increasing complexity of security with the rise of telemedicine and connected devices, necessitating a balanced approach.
When healthcare organizations focus solely on security without adapting to change, they risk compromising innovation and patient care amidst the digital transformation.
The healthcare sector operates continuously and demands that security protocols allow for quick access to critical information, which poses unique security challenges.
