PETER SPRINGFIELD CLOUD PRODUCT MANAGER , NODE4
Healthcare providers ' inhouse IT departments may not have the knowledge or the resources needed to combat sophisticated attacks , making it necessary to partner with trusted cybersecurity companies .
" Healthcare organisations are moving away from doing everything themselves and doing a lot of outsourcing in the cloud " says Terry Ray , Senior Vice President at cybersecurity firm Imperva . " They may have been running Cerner as their electronic medical record system for 15 years for example , but many are now shifting to say , " why am I running Cerner ? Why don ' t I just pay Cerner to run Cerner ? They can enter their data into Cerner ' s EMR and let it be their problem ."
