Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated, and healthcare is a major target. Implementing a zero-trust security architecture removes implicit trust and improves a healthcare organization’s defenses as IT environments grow more complex.
Technology is one tool that can protect healthcare organizations from a cyberattack, but individual vigilance is just as vital. Creating a culture of security among an organization’s entire staff will strengthen its defenses.
As cyberthreats grow in sophistication, it’s more critical than ever that healthcare organizations have a strong security posture. However, IT staff shortages and increasing IT complexity complicate efforts. Managed detection and response services can help support organizations’ security strategies.
Ransomware can cost healthcare organizations money, patient trust and even continuity of care. Mitigating ransomware attacks and being able to recover quickly in the event of a success attack is crucial.
It takes a team effort from healthcare leaders, health IT and security teams, clinicians, other healthcare staff, vendors and partners to protect an organization from ransomware. Security partners work with internal healthcare teams to identify gaps and bolster cybersecurity.
