Hospital Lobbyists Fought to Cut Penalties for Cybersecurity Breaches

1. From working a large number of cyber incidents in every industry

Budgets for IT security are sorely lacking, the staff is not up to the task (most places run bare bones IT staff, so they're stretched thin as it is), and people aren't willing to put up with the inconvenience of multifactor authentication. Its definitely getting better, because the insurance industry is getting very tired of paying out millions of dollars for the response to these kind of incidents, but it doesn't seem to be moving fast enough.
The unbelievably bad IT systems I've seen in every industry, even some mission critical/healthcare/utilities is ridiculous. IT people screaming for help and funding to make their systems better and more secure isn't just a bunch of nerds asking for new toys. IT is also the engine that drives your business, protect it.
