Attackers don't need your password anymore. They're stealing session tokens after MFA approval, and healthcare organizations running Microsoft 365 are prime targets. MFA is necessary but it's not the finish line.
Phishing remains healthcare's most expensive attack vector, not because staff are careless but because the attacks are sophisticated and the environment rewards speed over caution. The real fix isn't just training -- it's detection speed.
IT directors and CISOs have fundamentally different jobs. When one person tries to do both in a healthcare organization, security loses every time. You don't need a full-time CISO, but you need the function.
Ransomware crews deliberately target healthcare organizations on weekends when security teams are off. The 48-hour coverage gap creates artificial dwell time that turns minor incidents into catastrophic breaches.
Cyber insurance carriers are aggressively denying healthcare claims when organizations can't prove they had the security controls they attested to. Documentation and evidence matter as much as the controls themselves.
