“Healthcare is very vulnerable,” Vasu Jakkal, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s $20 billion security business, said at the ViVE conference March 29, according to the story. “We’re also seeing it with the small hospital systems,” added David Rhew, MD, global chief medical officer at Microsoft.
Ms. Jakkal suggested that health systems take a “zero trust” approach to cybersecurity and assume that hackers have already infiltrated their networks, the news outlet reported March 30. She added that artificial intelligence in cybersecurity is “going to change the game in so many ways,” with the technology’s ability to constantly learn about and detect emerging threats.
