New York-Presbyterian CISO Urges Practical Post-Quantum Readiness in Healthcare
Summary
New York-Presbyterian CISO John Frushour advises healthcare organizations to prepare for post-quantum cryptography without giving in to hype, including adopting strong TLS 1.3 ciphers where feasible.
Key points
- Frushour says healthcare organizations should prepare for quantum-era risks while continuing to prioritize current security needs.
- He recommends using strong TLS 1.3 ciphers on load balancers and hosted infrastructure where feasible.
- He says NIST guidelines can help organizations prepare for post-quantum cryptography.
- The interview also discusses potential quantum risks to healthcare and biomedical devices, and possible security-forecasting benefits from combining AI and quantum computing.
