• an explosion of data breaches and related financial losses in healthcare organizations;
• low cybersecurity awareness among employees;
• limited visibility into emerging threats and vulnerabilities;
• inadequate IT infrastructure and protection solutions;
• cookie-cutter cybersecurity vendor solutions that do not address the unique challenges of public health organizations; and

faced by NACCHO members.
