CLEVELAND, May 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Center for Health Affairs today announced a new partnership with ecfirst, a regulatory compliance security training provider. This partnership will help Northeast Ohio hospitals navigate increased cybersecurity and compliance complexities by offering education events, certification training programs and on-demand consulting to address HITRUST, HIPAA, NIST and more.
Cybersecurity is more critical than ever in the time of COVID-19. Many organizations have made a rapid shift to remote operations to ensure adequate resources were in place to support and secure a growing remote workforce. According to a recent survey conducted by the International Informational System Security Certification Consortium "(ISC)2," 47 percent of cybersecurity workers report being taken off their typical security duties to assist with other IT-related tasks. Furthermore, 23 percent report an increase in cybersecurity incidents at their organization, with some tracking double compared to normal rates.
"As part of an ongoing effort to provide impactful COVID-19 related solutions for members and clients, The Center for Health Affairs' partnership with ecfirst will help its member hospitals navigate uncertainty and remain vigilant in their cybersecurity and compliance practices," said The Center's President and CEO Brian Lane.
