Mr. Stanton is senior vice president, CIO and CISO at Yale New Haven Health. There, he is responsible for information security across the health system’s three states, seven hospital campuses and more than 240 outpatient locations, providing direction over cybersecurity, IT audit, patient privacy and disaster recovery. He serves as the health system’s HIPAA security officer and has held the CISO role for nine years, spending 12 years overall with Yale New Haven Health. Mr. Stanton was brought in to build the system’s office of information security, which has grown from three full-time employees to more than 40 through the consolidation of functions such as identity and access management and disaster recovery from within IT. He previously held leadership roles at British Telecom, IBM, AT&T and Unilever. Mr. Stanton chairs the Connecticut Hospital Association’s information security committee and sits on Connecticut Health Information Exchange committees, having led the statewide security review for the exchange. Most recently, he led the health system through a cyberattack, and the cybersecurity protocols his team had in place allowed for quick detection and mitigation that minimized impacts on patient care.
