The 28th edition of the book covers four themes: payment, fraud and abuse, data issues, and operational issues, set in the context of a quickly changing healthcare system. The nearly 100-page chapter co-authored by Abrenio, Evans, and Rathburn includes insight on:

• Healthcare industry threat actors
• Building an effective cyber security program
• Applicable laws, frameworks, and guidance
• Conducting a risk analysis
• How to handle a data security event
• Best practices
• Potential penalties and regulatory enforcement

"We see increasingly complex cyber security threats facing our healthcare clients," Abrenio noted. "The information provided in this chapter is very relevant and timely for organizations that need to address these threats in addition to meeting best practices and compliance requirements."

"This chapter not only represents collaborative work between cyber security, law, and health care, but also recognizes and highlights the importance of the three fields coming together to address security issues," Evans added. "The security challenges within the health care sector continue to increase, and solutions require collaborative approaches built from combined and relevant experience."

Delta Risk recently acquired Allied InfoSecurity, a privately-held firm based in the Philadelphia metro region, as part of its focus on offering security services for the healthcare market, particularly mid-sized organizations that face the same cyber threats and regulatory concerns as their larger counterparts. Delta Risk's healthcare industry services team is led by former Allied InfoSecurity CEO Michael McKinley, who now serves as Vice President and General Manager.
