A good, quick survey of healthcare and (to a lesser extent) consumer information security. It's impressive and frightening how much sensitive information is kept in plain sight by inept IT staff and hapless employees. This is a book for lay people and non-technical managers and executives who may not have a firm understanding of the threats that are targeting their businesses and data. Insecure email servers, poorly-designed websites, inattentive employees, and crafty con men combine to produce dangerous intrusions and data leaks which impact innocent patients and consumers. Policies need to be driven from the executive level to ensure confidential data is secured and that data privacy is developed into a core competency of the organization. While the author doesn't delve into much detail on the latter, enough is revealed regarding the threats themselves to give any manager or executive ideas on how to protect their business and the confidentiality of data entrusted to them.
