“We ' ve recently seen cyber threats that have been very focused on disrupting the availability of critical infrastructure , including healthcare ”
MICHAEL MEIS ASSOCIATE CISO , THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS HEALTH SYSTEM strategic angle to understand the business in regard to how the organisation communicates and what the revenue cycle looks like .
Using threat intelligence allows the cybersecurity team to shrink the pool of potential threat actors down so they can only focus on threats that are most relevant to the health system .
“ Once we ' ve shrunk those down , then we can focus on the capabilities of the threat actors , what their tools , tactics , and procedures might look like , and then compare those against our own internal detection capabilities . We look at what we might be able to stop , where we might have gaps and then focus our maturity efforts on shoring up those gaps . Even if it ' s only a detection method in the meantime , we must understand cybersecurity as it relates to the business and be able to justify the investments into security technology ,” said Meis .
