As many as 1.6 million individuals in Puerto Rico may have their health information exposed because of a snafu by an information technology vendor. Inmediata Health Group operates a database that captures current cyber threats and assesses, remediates and monitors risks to critical business systems and data. In January, Inmediata became aware that protected data was viewable online because a web page setting permitted search engines to index internal webpages used for business operations.

As more of the healthcare ecosystem depends on large-scale cloud providers, executive teams must ensure they have the visibility, governance, and architectural resilience to withstand the next unplanned disruption whether it lasts minutes or hours.
