A cyber breach at the Food and Drug Administration back in 2013 -- and hacks against other Health and Human Services Department components -- could have been stopped if the department's chief information officer and chief information security officer function separately. That's according to a new report from the House Energy and Commerce Committee. It says CISOs would do a better job protecting their agencies from cyber threats from the department's legal office rather than the CIO office. John Teeter is a former deputy chief information officer and acting CIO for HHS and is now a health IT consultant. He tells In Depth with Francis Rose about the different responsibilities for CIOs and CISOs and how they work together.
