Everybody wants to know, have we hit the bottom of the recession? Are we on the upswing? I think there’s that reticence of let's not invest, while it's still going down and start thinking about what the new economy is going to look like this year, as we hopefully come out. Is the recession over? Will there be a really deep recession? I think everybody's watching those numbers.

When we look at our organization compared to some of the very large organizations that we interact with, we can be really nimble because of the multiple hats we wear. And we can sometimes be more effective because of it. We really have a cohesive team that works together and can problem solve faster because we don't have all those different lanes so to speak.

There's always something more that you can do in regards to security risks. But given the dual roles I serve in and the fact that Faith Regional is not going to have a security team of 50 people, we leverage very smart contracts with other vendors. Not managed services but advisory type services, making sure that we're informed.

If healthcare were a power system I would want to know, where's the voltage going? Where's the juice? In healthcare, to me, the juice is your digital records.

It’s not a matter of IF you'll have a cyber incident. It's a matter of WHEN. And more importantly, how do you get back to business? How do you continue operations knowing that everything in the cyber blast radius has been contained?
