Building a Cyber Security Team at Partners

Jigar Kadakia, CISO and Chief Privacy Officer, Partners HealthCare. Until recently, many health care organizations haven’t had the resources to stand up dedicated information security teams. However, with the changing regulatory and threat landscapes, many are now trying to create information security offices to provide focused effort on these critical functions. But even after securing the budgetary commitment to build a team, many struggle to find, hire, onboard, and nurture people with the right skill sets in a job market where the ideal candidates are scarce. In this session, you will hear how Partners has addressed these challenges in order to establish their security team over time.
