Announcing the Second Annual Healthcare Information Security Today Survey

Princeton, NJ, September 28, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Information Security Media Group (ISMG), publisher of HealthcareInfosecurity.com, announces its second annual Healthcare Information Security Today survey gauging top trends, threats and priorities for hospitals, clinics, health plans and integrated delivery systems.

This web-based research study, created by ISMG with the counsel of top healthcare and security experts and sponsored by RSA, explores how information security leaders are taking steps to respond to today's key challenges, including:

-Preventing and detecting breaches
-Dealing with the risks posed by mobile devices
-Complying with HIPAA and the HITECH Act
-Conducting risk assessments
-Setting information security priorities
-Investing in emerging technologies
-Developing security policies and procedures
-Assessing the security of cloud computing

The annual Healthcare Information Security Today survey gives healthcare information security professionals and other senior executives insights that they can track and measure over time. The 2011 survey results showed, for example:

-26% of organizations had yet to conduct a risk assessment;
-43% graded their ability to counter information security threats as poor, failing or in need of improvement;
-Improving regulatory compliance was the top information security priority.

Visit http://www.healthcareinfosecurity.com/surveys.php?surveyID=15 and take the survey. Results will be presented in a variety of ways across HealthcareInfoSecurity.com, including an in-depth report, expert interviews and a webinar in which survey respondents will be invited to listen to exclusive insight and analysis.
