Those steps, she says, are: move to an automated strategy, focus on asset management as a core strategy and implement risk refactoring - "understand the business context of what's happening in your organization so you can prioritize work."

In a video interview at Information Security Media Group's recent Healthcare Security Summit in New York, Arif discusses:

The difference between vulnerability management and vulnerability response; What healthcare organizations aren't getting right today; The role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in more effective and timely responses to vulnerability threats.
