Given the state of IT in healthcare in pretty much every other country, is there any reason to believe "Members of Sjunet are expected to know their networks and keep tight controls on IT" has any meaning? Does the government audit every computer on the network? Are they all updated with the latest patches? Do we know people aren't plugging in random USB devices, etc..?


My understanding is that the members need to sign a contract to join Sjunet. I'm not sure of penalties, but being kicked out of Sjunet is likely an incentive for decent IT staffing.


Yeah. As someone who has literally been in this industry.. As sad as it is, its a pretty massive ask to expect all healthcare places to have their security "tight". All it takes is one lax clinic or hospital (and truth be told they are ALL lax in their security in one way or another) for it to come crumbling down.

Are the latest patches security updates ?
