Salesforce surveyed more than 400 healthcare workers and found that a majority of them are not following their organization’s cybersecurity practices. 

For example, 57 percent of respondents said their work has become more digitized, yet only 22 percent said that their organization strictly enforces cybersecurity protocols. 

Thirty-one percent of respondents said they wouldn’t even know what to do if their organization experienced a data breach, and only 54 percent of respondents said that they found security training at their organizations to be efficient.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
