Aaron Weismann joined Main Line Health as CISO in the summer of 2020 at the height of the pandemic, and the organization faced an enormous challenge. “Everything was distributed, everyone went home, and everyone had telemedicine everywhere,” Weismann says.
Meanwhile, cyberattackers were stepping up their game, with ransomware gangs even deliberately targeting healthcare organizations. “It was an exciting situation to be in,” he says. “We were able to take a hard look at our security infrastructure.”
Main Line Health has more than 14,000 employees in total, four acute-care hospitals, one rehab hospital, a treatment center, five large ambulatory locations for outpatients and 140 clinics – plus IT and medical-related IoT devices numbering in the “low six figures.”
