Combating the Rising Threat of Cybersecurity in Healthcare
Cybercriminals have been going after the healthcare industry more lately, taking advantage of how dependent today’s healthcare organizations are on digital systems and requirements to maintain patient data privacy. Due to the sensitive nature of the data and healthcare organization’s need to stay online, cyberattacks are especially likely to happen in the healthcare field.
These attacks can steal private patient information, stop business and cause tremendous financial losses, both for healthcare organizations and patients whose data is compromised. The Nashville Business Journal recently highlighted the alarming trend of hackers demanding Bitcoin ransoms from healthcare providers, detailing how important it is to have strong cybersecurity measures right away.
