Healthcare Cybersecurity Services

The progression towards interoperability between medical providers has digitized patient data with electronic health records (EHRs) to improve accessibility and accelerate decision-making at point of care. However, unsecure hospital networks and highly vulnerable mHealth apps could enable unauthorized access to protected health information (PHI), exposing sensitive data and incurring HIPAA violation fines. That’s where cybersecurity comes into your health IT plans.

What is healthcare cybersecurity?

Health cybersecurity encompasses the technology systems and security awareness training processes that protect data and PHI from security breaches and helps prevent HIPAA violations.

Why is Cybersecurity critical for Healthcare IT?

The average cost of a healthcare data breach is $8.6 million in the United States, according to IBM Security’s 2020 data breach cost report, and threats will only increase in the next year as Cybersecurity Ventures predicts ransomware attacks will occur every 11 seconds in 2021.
