TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Black Book Market Research LLC surveyed over 2,876 security professionals from 733 provider organizations to identify gaps, vulnerabilities and deficiencies that persist in keeping hospitals and physicians proverbial sitting ducks for data breaches and cyber-attacks. 96 percent of IT professionals agreed with the sentiments that data attackers are outpacing their medical enterprises, holding providers at a disadvantage in responding to vulnerabilities.

A fragmented mix of 415 vendors offering data security services, core products and solutions, software, consulting and outsourcing received user feedback including large IT companies, mid and small security vendors and start-ups in the polling period Q4 2018 to Q3 2019. 

"Most healthcare CISOs and CIOs have no choice but to leverage next generation cybersecurity system tools and solutions in order to keep their provider organizations' data safe but also to stay solvent," said Doug Brown, President of Black Book™, based in Tampa, Florida.

"The frank reality is that many cybersecurity solutions purchased just a year ago may already be outdated and deficient in combatting developing hacks and breaches of 2020, and marginally performing hospitals face yet another threat to closure from related expenses and blows to the provider's reputation," said Brown.

Still, 38% of chief information officers with negative 2018 operating margins report slow or no progress towards orchestrating a proactive cybersecurity technology infrastructure to support their long term protection efforts.

"Given the complexities of each individual health system and physician organization, implementing the right cybersecurity software and solutions in delicate sequence is crucial as to not create an even more adverse situation through the transition," said Brown.

In contrast, 95% of CIOs and CISOs in companies performing at margins supporting long term viability (marked at over 4.5%) report successfully maintained cybersecurity programs and transformations initiated, with 2020 capital expenditures planned for upgraded tools such as cybersecurity analytics, network security, open source solutions, threat intelligence and cloud security.
