IT Security at the DeKalb Medical Center with Sharon Finney

Few business sectors are impacted by information security regulation more than health care. However, Sharon Finney, IT security manager for the DeKalb Medical Center, believes that if end users are unaware the IT Security department even exists and then she will have done her job. Ms. Finney feels that information security works best when it works transparently and that employees should be empowered to perform their own duties without having to worry about violating IT security regulations.

In this PGP® Podcast, you’ll hear about the extensive compliance requirements facing modern hospitals and learn how the IT security staff at DeKalb focuses on meeting these demands in a way that doesn’t impact patient care. Sharon also talks in detail about how and why the medical center decided to secure email communications with business partners and patients.
