Every Organization’s Nightmare and Financial Ruin: Data Theft and Re-sale on the “Dark Web”
HFMA Advisor
Healthcare financial executives and senior managers are accustomed to identifying risks in their strategic
financial plans and developing tactics to mitigate those risks. But what about risks that are not even on the
minds of executives? Think of the French in WWII, who fortified the Maginot Line, but failed to secure their
northern border with Belgium, allowing the German blitzkrieg to sweep into France and defeat the French.

financial plans and developing tactics to mitigate those risks. But what about risks that are not even on the

northern border with Belgium, allowing the German blitzkrieg to sweep into France and defeat the French.
Thus, the phrase, “They fight the last war,” reflects the tendency of decision-makers, understandably, to
stick with what they know to the point of not seeing or comprehending current risks. Cybersecurity is too
important an issue for hospitals and healthcare organizations to leave to the Information Technology and
Health Information departments alone. Derek Fisher, in his nearby article on theft of data, issues a call-to arms for healthcare executives to guard their organizations’ data and protect the data from cyber-criminals bent on capitalizing on the sale of identities and related information. I commend this thought-provoking article.
