Do you find this a little concerning?

Eighty-four percent of U.S. healthcare providers don’t have a cyber security officer, and only 11 percent plan to add one in 2018, according to a recent Black Book Research survey of 323 strategic decision makers at U.S. healthcare provider and payer organizations.

At healthcare payer organizations, the outlook is slightly better — 31 percent have an established cyber security manager, and 44 percent plan to hire one in the coming year.

Just 15 percent of all responding organizations currently have a CISO in place.

The critical role of medical facilities, combined with poor security practices and lack of resources, make them vulnerable to financially and politically motivated attacks,” Black Book managing partner Doug Brown said in a statement.
