Protecting healthcare: key cybersecurity challenges

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.

Sensitive data protection

Protection of highly sensitive data, including PII, medical records and payment information.

Telemedicine security

Electronic records risk

The shift to electronic medical records, which can be locked down or deleted in an attack.

Compliance demands

Stringent compliance requirements driven by HIPAA, PCI, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, etc.

Third-party risks
