PE-owned healthcare entities need to improve cybersecurity: I hate to say it, but at this point cybersecurity protections are more important than regular HIPAA blocking-and-tackling. And apparently, private equity backed healthcare companies are worse than others, which is in many ways surprising. Solid cybersecurity shouldn't be a heavy lift for nimble, tech-related companies, and most PE portfolios these days seem to be heavy into new tech. That should be a recipe for leading-edge cybersecurity, but apparently not.
