# Healthcare Leaders Prioritize Cyber Resilience

Christopher Frenz, Chief Information Security Officer at Rectangle Health, argues that healthcare cybersecurity resilience should be designed into system architecture by limiting exploitable pathways, rather than relying primarily on threat detection and incident response. The signal identifies potential demand for preventive security capabilities but reports no government solicitation or contract award.

- Healthcare contractors can align offerings with the areas identified: security architecture, microsegmentation, medical-device security, third-party connectivity controls, and reducing security operations center alert volume.
- Procurement and industry teams can use this as a market signal when assessing healthcare cybersecurity solution requirements and positioning relevant capabilities; it does not identify a specific agency buyer, procurement vehicle, funding amount, or deadline.
