"Health Industry Cybersecurity Practices: Managing Threats and Protection Patients," consists of four volumes. One is geared toward for small healthcare organizations, one for medium and large providers, another with resources and templates for end users and a fourth for cybersecurity best practices surrounding threats and protecting patients.
