For healthcare and healthtech organizations, balancing cybersecurity and technology innovation is a complex challenge.
Cybersecurity is crucial in safeguarding patient privacy, ensuring data integrity, maintaining trust, and fortifying healthcare infrastructure. At the same time, technology innovation plays a transformative role in areas such as healthcare access and delivery, telemedicine, improved electronic health records, and medical research and development.
Organizations that navigate this challenge and can both move fast and innovate while also keeping critical health information secure will be best positioned to deliver better patient experiences and health outcomes.
Open source software has become the foundation for building modern, customizable, and cost-efficient solutions. Open source is used in a variety of healthcare functions, from improved diagnosis and treatment to predictive modeling, and wearable remote monitoring devices.
This substantial dependence on open source software has prompted healthcare organizations to strategically prioritize the security and effective maintenance of the open source software supply chain so they can continue to innovate while minimizing risk.
