Using an unordered list, summarize the following article with between 4 and 8 key points. Highly regulated industries such as banking and telecommunications are leading the way in cybersecurity, while more complex and less coordinated sectors like healthcare, remain among the most vulnerable, according to a cybersecurity executive from Palo Alto Networks. Nicole Quinn, Vice President for Policy and Government Affairs for Japan and Asia Pacific at Palo Alto Networks, said organizations that understand the value of their data and the risks of losing it tend to invest more in protecting their systems. \u201cThe financial sector have often been very forward leaning\u2026 they\u2019re protecting someone\u2019s money. If they got that wrong, you know, that\u2019s their business model,\u201d Quinn said. She explained that industries handling sensitive data or critical services are naturally more cautious, as their operations depend heavily on secure digital infrastructure. \u201cWe see it in high-risk\u2026 companies who recognize that the data that they had, or the services that they provide, rely on that data infrastructure,\u201d she added.

According to Quinn, government regulation has played a key role in pushing these organizations to strengthen their cyber defenses. \u201cThe banking and financial sector, for example, the telecommunications sector, those areas where we recognize that these were at the heart of our economic and national security\u2026 they are often more forward leaning in this type of security posture,\u201d she said. Parts of government also fall into this category, particularly those dealing with national defense and intelligence. \u201cThere\u2019s certainly elements of government\u2026 the obvious one\u2026 would be that defense national security lens,\u201d Quinn said. However, not all sectors are equally prepared. Quinn pointed to healthcare systems as a major concern, citing structural complexity and fragmented operations as key weaknesses.

This interconnected setup, she said, creates vulnerabilities that cyber attackers can exploit, raising serious risks for patients. \u201cWhich is a worry when you\u2019ve got\u2026 your diabetes machine or your heart monitor connected to the internet,\u201d Quinn added. Quinn also warned against outdated approaches to cybersecurity, noting that some organizations still rely on basic strategies that are no longer sufficient. \u201cWe\u2019ve still got companies going, well we can just air-gap it\u2026 we don\u2019t connect to the internet, so that will remove all the risks,\u201d she said, stressing that such methods do not fully protect against modern threats. As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, experts say organizations, especially those outside heavily regulated industries, must step up investments in cybersecurity to protect both data and public safety.
