– Many healthcare providers struggle with finding and retaining security staff, as well as budget constraints, which make it difficult to properly secure the enterprise. In response, a host of industry stakeholders have provided free cybersecurity resources to support those organizations in shoring up vulnerabilities and keeping pace with the ever-evolving threat landscape.
