Protecting Healthcare’s Crown Jewels

Jan 9, 2025 | Posted by Radio Host | Our Shows |

The Change Healthcare breach was a loud wake-up call for the entire healthcare industry: cybersecurity can’t be treated as an afterthought. Host Beth Friedman speaks with Greg Surla, SVP and Chief Information Security Officer at FinThrive, who shares how healthcare IT leaders strengthen defenses, diversify vendor relationships and proactively safeguard critical assets in an increasingly hostile digital landscape.

Listen to the Conversation

Takeaways

  • A Breach is a Wake-Up Call
    The Change Healthcare breach exposed a dangerous over-reliance on single vendors. For healthcare providers, the lesson is clear: diversify your partnerships and treat cybersecurity like a survival tool, not a checkbox.
  • Cybersecurity: An Industry-Wide Priority
    If a giant like Change Healthcare is susceptible to breaches, no one is safe. This isn’t just one organization’s problem—it’s an industry-wide battle. A collective, coordinated approach is essential to defend against relentless cyber threats.
  • Protect Your Crown Jewels
    Start with the basics: protect your “crown jewels”—those critical systems and sensitive data. Identify what’s most valuable, monitor user behavior for red flags and patch systems before vulnerabilities become headlines. Legacy systems? Update them yesterday.
  • Manage Third-Party Risks
    Third-party vendors are often your weakest link. Evaluate their security plans with the same rigor as your own—and don’t wait for another SolarWinds-level disaster to strengthen oversight. Align vendor policies with your organization’s risk tolerance and lock down those connections.
  • Plan and Practice Your Cyber Response
    A cybersecurity response plan isn’t optional—it’s survival. Engage with your RCM vendors now: define breach response protocols, set connectivity rules and identify secure ways to transfer sensitive data. The time to prepare is before you’re under attack.
