Cyber Security in the health care sector
How to protect medical and patients data effectively
Overview
The health sector targeted by hacker attacks
We are experiencing a great and constant change in the field of medicine and its use of digital technologies, IT equipment and networking in healthcare companies. Progress towards intelligent hospitals with networked systems, remote examinations and digital endpoint devices is inevitable and offers us great opportunities. On the other hand, if one disregards the core business of a hospital - that is operations, wards, care, nursing, research and diagnostics - then it increases the risk of exposure to cyber-attacks.
This whitepaper shows how the healthcare sector can effectively protect itself against such attacks, what questions you need to ask yourself, what IT technical measures are recommended and which DriveLock solutions support these measures.
