A single view of security, application, and third-party service provider events is crucial for healthcare organizations to reduce overall business risk. It provides visibility into the environment and helps identify potential threats and attacks. Implementing technologies like Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions can aid in achieving this objective. The SIEM's role expands further in the healthcare industry as it assists in meeting compliance requirements and streamlining security operations while providing a comprehensive view of security events.
