One of the most promising technologies for automatically enforcing compliance with sensitive data handling practices is Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technology and it is quickly gaining popularity and adoption across many industries.

Since the role of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and how he or she reports has a major impact on security and risk, I think it’s interesting to look at how different organizations have structured the position.

Because of increasing threats, high-profile data breaches, and increased awareness of the damage they cause, we anticipate a substantial tightening of regulations and contractual requirements that will significantly impact information security in healthcare.
