At the same time, cyber risk to healthcare providers remains high and continues to grow. Healthcare data is one of the most valuable types of information sold on the black market because of its sensitive content, such as social security numbers, addresses, dates of birth, credit card details, and other personal information.   

Yet how to navigate this difficult landscape isn’t always clear.  

Healthcare organizations today need a practical strategy to prevent and manage ongoing threats such as phishing, ransomware attacks, loss or theft of hardware, and attacks against medical devices. Per HIPAA guidelines, every healthcare provider must conduct security risk assessments. These evaluations analyze your IT environment and identify vulnerabilities so you can address them as soon as possible to remain compliant. But they aren’t enough––you’ll also need a solid plan with an ongoing set of systems, processes, and training to ensure effective protection.
