Paul Curylo, VP/CIO for Inova Health System says the bad guys may always be on your heels, but you can ward them off, to some extent, with cyber-hygiene — getting back to basics. Second to that, focus on business continuity. In this interview with Anthony Guerra, healthsystemCIO founder and editor-in-chief, Curylo talks about how, as the key advisor on cybersecurity, he is always bringing reality to light by asking the hard questions about business continuity before he even approves a new application. His quarterly cyber-decision exercises force business leaders to think through every contingency of going to paper imaginable, right down to how to dispose of the extra paper records. These conversations are robust and bring about changes in the app designs, but also in the business continuity plans because they need to be living, workable documents, Curylo says, and “the information needs to be recoverable when you need it.”
