Key cybersecurity challenges for healthcare
The #1 attack vector in healthcare
Phishing is still the preferred method of attack by hackers. Most phishing campaigns are spread through emails containing malicious links. The messages in these mails are very convincing, often related to a well-known medical problem to encourage the recipient to click on the link.
In addition, the growing number of endpoints (mobile devices, IoT applications and connected medical devices) increases the attack surface of phishing campaigns, making central visibility essential to keep your patient data safe.
The biggest threat to your organization
Stolen data, breached systems, hijacked accounts … In healthcare, ransomware attacks have a direct impact on the real world. In the worst cases, system failures can lead to cancelled operations, putting patients’ lives at risk. Recovery from an incident can take a long time.
Protection against ransomware not only minimizes the risk of having to pay ransom, but also increases compliance and reduces reputational damage to your organization.
Protect your patients’ valuable data
Whether your patient information resides on the network, in the cloud/data center, or on your devices/endpoints, you need central visibility to keep your data safe and private. The solution is a cybersecurity platform that allows you to consolidate visibility, analysis and controls.
Prevention is better than cure
A small IT team, lack of knowledge & resources, a dispersed environment… Most healthcare institutions struggle with the same issues. That’s why automation is a vital asset for your cyber security.
An Extended Detection & Response solution consolidates your security tools and helps you navigate alerts in your day-to-day operations. It automatically identifies advanced malware and suspicious network activity, ensuring your IT team is optimally equipped to respond before a threat can become a problem.
Compliance and regulations (NIS2 Directive)
Cybersecurity compliance and regulation play a pivotal role in safeguarding sensitive data, ensuring trust, and mitigating risks in today's digital landscape. The healthcare sectors must comply with a wide range of regulations, including data protection laws and regulations related to cybersecurity as part of their security policy. Meeting compliance requirements such as GDPR or NIS2 Directive can be challenging, especially given the complexity and scale of public sector operations.
As healthcare regulations are increasing, there is a continuous challenge of meeting them while battling a growing number of threats. Therefore, it is important to collaborate with software suppliers that help you to secure your data and be compliant.
