" Learn from others and talk to your peers to see what
they are doing-I'm not afraid to ask so that I'm not recreating
the wheel, " Nelson says. " In our community and
groups within CHA, we lean on each other all the time,
always asking, 'What do you need? Is there anything we
can help with?' "
Life after a cyberattack
No matter how well planned and executed a cybersecurity
strategy may be, almost every health care organization is
going to face a cyberattack at some point. A recent Ponemon

found that 89% had experienced a cyberattack in the past year.

minimize the damage of a cyberattack. First and foremost,
undisrupted patient care is the top priority. The business continuity
plan should consider how the organization continues
to function following attacks on any part of the technology
network. The incident response plan should have clear roles,
responsibilities and processes for different situations.
Emergency notification systems are essential in alerting
employees about security incidents and ensuring everyone
is following the business continuity plan. " A lot of organizations
leverage texting and personal emails, " Nelson says.
" And if cell service is down, you just have your backup plans
