In this week's McKnight's Long-Term Care News, a warning was issued about Worker data under threat: Another concern for providers desperate for staff.

With many providers using third-party staffing agencies, the article reiterated our warning to clients. "Prime Care Technologies, an IT firm that offers cybersecurity services to long-term care clients, reported earlier this year that some two-thirds of breaches are now vendor-related."

Ongoing and growing cyber threats to your data may prompt conversations around outsourcing cybersecurity protections and considering cyber insurance policies. Following are additional resources to help you weigh these decisions:

• McKnight's LTC News, April 2021: Ransomware ‘bull’s eye’ grows, clouding telehealth’s rise in long-term care
• Webcast: Want to Avoid Cyber Sharks? Swim with the School - Prime Care Tech and Willis Towers Watson
• Self-Audit: Cyber Security 10-Point Checklist
