What are the privacy issues in healthcare??

The patient information collected by the health care industry is supposed to stay very confidential. Since there have been cases of identity theft in the healthcare industry, it is imperative that healthcare providers secure access to all their clinical applications. The most common threats to data privacy and security include data theft, unauthorized access, improper disposal of data, data loss, hacking IT incidents, and more. Patients data was used by hackers to access their information and get started.

What are the cyber security risks of Healthcare?

Some of the major cyber security risks in this industry include Phishing, spear phishing, ransomware, identity theft, malware attacks, data breaches, and patient data loss.

Healthcare + Cloud

Healthcare & Life Sciences is a highly regulated sector with numerous compliance requirements. The speed of innovation required often is at cross-purpose with the security and compliance requirements which need to be continuously adhered to. While Cloud and container technology has addressed the need for speed, collaboration and productivity, it has also increased the risk of non-compliance.

The need to store confidential personal health information, protect intellectual property and adhere to compliance requirements like HIPAA are the security and compliance imperatives for this industry. While taking to the Cloud, it is important to be satisfied that the benefits of cloud adoption will not be offset by poorly and insecurely configured cloud environments which introduce security loopholes and sub-optimal workflows.
