BOULDER, Colo. — WanAware has released a new benchmark report, The Healthcare IT Visibility Gap: More Tools, Less Clarity, revealing how healthcare organizations’ modernization and AI ambitions are outpacing their ability to see, secure, and manage critical infrastructure.
The report finds that infrastructure visibility remains fragmented despite rising investment in cloud, monitoring tools, and security platforms, with 60% reporting that at least 26–50% of their infrastructure is insufficiently monitored, driving preventable incidents, security detection lag, and growing risk as AI adoption accelerates.
“There’s a widening gap between how modern healthcare environments are built and how well they’re actually understood,” said Jeff Collins, CEO of WanAware. “Organizations are deploying more tools and pushing forward with AI initiatives, but without a unified view of their infrastructure, risk becomes embedded in daily operations.
The Healthcare IT Visibility Gap report is based on an independent survey of 600 US-based healthcare IT leaders spanning executive, network operations, and security roles that was conducted in January 2026. Download the full report here.
