While CIOs and CISOs have a significant role in ensuring front line healthcare workers have the tools and technologies they need to treat patients, healthcare organizations must also prioritize protecting medical devices and critical infrastructure during this crisis.

As healthcare organizations look to ramp up their operations to prepare for treating the victims of this disease, many are bringing on new equipment and devices to help.

Limit the number of entry points for attack, including patching vulnerable devices that have been in use for a while and those that have been added to help support healthcare workers during this time.

Many healthcare organizations have started on these projects already, but there has never been a more important time to finish security implementations in order to effectively protect themselves against cyber attackers.

Given the COVID-19 crisis, it is now more important than ever that they take the necessary precautions to protect our healthcare organizations.
