CYBERSECURITY FOR
THE HEALTHCARE
INDUSTRY
Prevention, detection, response: ESET provides the advanced security solutions trusted by healthcare organizations worldwide.
Hospitals and other healthcare organizations are popular targets for cybercriminals, who see them as both vulnerable and extremely profitable. These institutions collect personal and financial information—from credit cards and billing information to social security numbers—which can be easily monetized if stolen by hackers. They’re also subject to ransomware or DDoS attacks that deny access to networks or services in demand for payment.
A successful attack can have an incalculable human cost in terms of lost records, missed appointments and cancelled medical procedures—which is why prevention is key to the health of your business.
ESET solutions address the IT security challenges:
Protection of highly sensitive data, including PII, medical records and payment information
Privacy and security issues surrounding the rise in telemedicine and remote work due to Covid-19
The shift to electronic medical records, which can be locked down or deleted in an attack
Stringent compliance requirements driven by HIPAA, PCI, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, etc.
Reliance on third party vendors for services and equipment, which can increase breach risk
Equipment ranging from legacy hardware and multiple OSes to the latest mobile devices
