Q&A with Cleveland Clinic’s Director of Cyber Keith Duemling: Show the Business You’re an Ally

“Protecting workstations in their traditional form is not a technique that scales any longer,” says Keith Duemling, director of cybersecurity technology protection at the Cleveland Clinic. In this interview with healthsystemCIO Founder and Editor-in-Chief Anthony Guerra, Duemling talks about how he and his team of cybersecurity engineers have no small task tackling “the sheer magnitude and scale of security” at the clinic, which involves literally thousands of vendors. Third-party risk is a key trend to watch, but so is the increase in patient-owned devices being used for diagnostic purposes, Duemling says. “It's really challenging because obviously you can't deploy traditional tools onto someone's privately owned device, but you are, to some degree, still responsible for the protection of their information, and certainly their protection when it comes to the care that they receive.” Ultimately, it requires building strong relationships in the enterprise and getting out in front of demand when it comes to IT.
