As part of CDW’s cybersecurity team, I often have the opportunity to visit with our customers and help them identify gaps in their security programs. CDW offers a variety of security assessments that help organizations shore up their cybersecurity weaknesses.

I’ve performed dozens of these assessments, which provides me with a unique vantage point on the state of cybersecurity across different industries and organizations of various sizes.

The sudden shutdown of physical offices across the country this spring has accelerated many organizations’ journeys down the digital transformation path.

Because they deployed so many solutions in such a short period of time, most organizations will want to undertake some sort of security assessment to be sure they haven’t opened themselves up to new vulnerabilities. But this moment also presents an opportunity for organizations to provide a permanent boost to their cybersecurity practices through ongoing engagements.

That’s where cybersecurity assessments from a partner like CDW come in.

I have a unique perspective on healthcare cybersecurity, having spent the beginning of my professional career as a practicing nurse and later moving into cybersecurity consulting. That perspective helps me critically examine the security programs at the many hospitals, physicians and other provider offices that I visit as part of my CDW practice. During conversations with healthcare IT teams, I’ve identified three crucial best practices to protect patient information: vulnerability assessments, penetration tests and incident response playbooks.

Let’s explore each of these critical topics.

Vulnerability scanning, penetration testing and red teaming each play a vital role in an organization’s security program. It’s important that technology leaders understand the different roles they play so they may combine them in the manner most effective for their organizations.
