Cyber programs have grown more complex
Michael Mainiero, SVP and chief digital and information officer at Catholic Health, says that although his team’s core functions have remained the same, “the scope and complexity of our cyber programs have increased significantly. We have intensified our focus on operational readiness, disaster recovery, frequent patching, and software maintenance.”
Additionally, Mainiero says, the security team’s efforts in detecting and monitoring medical devices and protecting health information have broadened, and the organization has adopted new approaches to social engineering threats. “Overall, the scope of our cybersecurity operations has grown in all areas,’’ he says.

Ken Leeser, CISO of AI platform provider OnCorps, says his responsibilities have expanded to include gathering information and understanding security processes around AI. “This is a fast-evolving field with additional complexities around data privacy and corporate data protection,’’ Leeser says. He adds that the use of AI provides additional challenges in understanding and preventing data leakage on top of issues around general user security awareness.
