ABSTRACT
Cyber risk and privacy exposure exert an impact upon virtually every aspect of a healthcare organization (HCO)--assets, clinical operations, finances and reputation. Exposure is enterprise-wide and includes risk to both physical and non-physical assets in increasing degrees. The consequences of a cyber attack or privacy breach could be operationally and financially catastrophic, so an HCO's move toward an enterprise-wide approach at identifying and minimizing risk, cyber and privacy liability should be on the radar screen for risk managers and leadership.
