Healthcare Security Expert Carrie Whysall to
Lead Security Service Line Growth for Top Cybersecurity Firm
CynergisTek, Inc. (NYSE AMERICAN: CTEK), a leader in healthcare
cybersecurity, privacy, and compliance, today announced that it has
appointed Carrie Whysall as the company’s Director of Managed
Security Services, reporting to the Vice President of Security
Services. In this new position, Whysall will be responsible for
executing strategic business initiatives and driving the company’s
growth strategies for security services including, Vendor Security
Management (VSM), Managed Security Service (MSS) and Medical Device
Security. A healthcare veteran with over 20 years of experience in
IT leadership, 12 of which have been specifically in security, she
will also work closely with the company’s executives to meet client
expectations and ensure timely and efficient service delivery to
support company goals and enhance employee and customer
satisfaction.
Prior to joining CynergisTek, Whysall served as Senior Director
of Security for Ascension Information Services, the largest
not-for-profit health system in the United States with more than
150 hospitals and 2,600 physician practices. During her time there,
Whysall was part of the leadership team that implemented
Ascension’s Security Operations Center (SOC) as well as the
company’s eForensics, Security Training & Awareness, Medical
Device Management, and Incident Response programs. Whysall also was
responsible for the Access & Identity Management program which
provided identity and access services for over 200,000 users across
the Ascension system. She also served as part of Ascension’s mentor
program, providing guidance and empowering women to develop and
expand their careers in healthcare security.
“I could not be more excited to join CynergisTek at such a
critical time in healthcare. As an industry, we struggle to
coordinate defenses across health systems, making it more
challenging to protect and secure patient data,” said Whysall.
“Coming from a large health system, I was instantly drawn to
CynergisTek’s unique ability to provide proven and reliable
security and privacy services to healthcare organizations of all
sizes to better coordinate a strong defense against growing
threats. I look forward to leveraging my healthcare information
security background with CynergisTek’s team and working with the
company’s growing client base to enhance the adoption of security
best practices across the industry.”
“As we continue to see demand for our broad range of services,
it is very exciting to bring someone with Ms. Whysall’s
qualifications and experience into our leadership team and tap into
her health system experience to inform service planning,
development, and delivery,” said Mac McMillan, CEO and President of
CynergisTek. “Her proven track record and powerful leadership
skills will play an integral part in bolstering our services and
shaping them to meet the security concerns of the future. Her
security operations expertise in particular will play a vital role
in shaping and ensuring our managed services address the growing
threats in the healthcare industry.”
