To get there, security leaders should take the following steps:
- Guide strategic investments. Adopting a zero-trust approach can push organizations to streamline their investments, offering a new lens through which IT and business leaders can view potential solutions. This particularly impacts organizations with significant technical debt.
- Meet compliance requirements. Compliance is an issue distinct from but related to cybersecurity, but even initial zero-trust steps should align with regulatory and industry mandates, especially with regard to cyber insurance.
- Enhance business agility. A stronger security framework is ultimately a business enabler. When healthcare organizations are certain that their data is protected, they can focus on enhancing patient care.
