The pressures that go along with leading cyber in a healthcare institution are daunting; some of which include the need to be perfect all the time, the fact that the industry is under almost constant attack, and the presence of financial margins that don’t leave IT with money to burn. Of course, combine all that with the reality that lives are usually on the line, and it’s no wonder the niche is seeing some burnout. Krista Arndt, CISO at United Musculoskeletal Partners notes that, while lives may not be on the line if some of her practices go down, qualify of life certainly is, as anyone slated for a knee or hip replacement can attest. In this interview with healthsystemCIO Founder & Editor-in-Chief Anthony Guerra, Arndt talks about why it’s important for cyber leaders to realize their department is a ‘trust center,’ how she’s partnered with operational leaders to absorb the ins and outs of healthcare, and why it’s just as important for other leaders to have cyber’s back as it is for cyber to have theirs.
