           Hello classmate, I have read through your discussion, and there is a sense in which it is intriguing. I agree with you o your assertion that the health industry is bedeviled by challenges primarily from within the sector compared to those that come from outside the industry. The Healthcare industry has an enormous amount of sensitive data that should be stored categorically for easy retrieval. To add to your point a little, the employees in the healthcare industry have subjected the industry to a great mess due to negligence and mix-up of patients' crucial medical information hence impeding efficient service delivery. Aside from internal challenges, the healthcare facilities that have not embraced and incorporated virtual private network systems also experience several external attacks from hackers who frequently access and manipulate their databases.
