Systemic and known cybersecurity vulnerabilities put patients' safety at risk; despite that, cybersecurity gets little support from the C-suite, a federal task force found.

Cybersecurity is a full-time, dedicated job, but the healthcare industry is facing a cybersecurity staffing shortage. Attracting and retaining qualified professionals can be a challenge but it's not impossible.
