The Simple Cybersecurity Shift with Big Impact on Healthcare

Cybersecurity starts with people.

Specifically those at the top, The Board & CEO.

When they speak everyone listens.

It's about leading by example.

Showing not telling transforms organizations.

Consider healthcare where cybersecurity is vital.

A shift in leadership can have massive implications.

It can make cybersecurity part of the culture or just a checklist item.

Imagine a hospital where staff is more receptive because the CEO is too.

This is achievable with the right tone from the top.

The Misconception about Funding

More money equals better security, right?

Wrong!

It's not just about budgets.

This shift doesn't require huge budgets.

Just a change in mindset at the highest level.

And when it filters down through every department & team member.

Suddenly, cybersecurity is everyone's business.

Not just the IT department.

Example: How Top-Down Leadership Can Influence an Organization

Because of the change in tone from the top.

Cybersecurity is now discussed in meetings and integrated into daily routines.

Part of the organizational DNA.

This is how you build a proactive culture.

Now we've created a mindset where security is as important as healthcare itself.

Here is an example of leadership changing the culture of an healthcare org:

Under CEO Rosalind Brewer's lead, Walgreens took a big leap.

It went from just selling medicine to focusing on consumer centric health.

Walgreens wanted to use its tech and stores to give people better healthcare.

So they bought parts of companies like VillageMD, CareCentrix, etc.

This move wasn't only about growing bigger.

It was about changing how Walgreens worked, refocusing on consumer health.

This change meant a shift in leadership mindset and company culture.

Most importantly this story shows how a CEO can really change behavior.

Let's change the tone & influence the culture.

Simple, effective, & transformative!
