Targeted Attacks on Valuable Patient Data: Healthcare organisations possess a wealth of sensitive patient information, including medical records, financial data, and social security numbers. This data is a prime target for cybercriminals who can launch various attacks:
-
Ransomware attacks: Crippling hospital operations and demanding hefty ransoms to restore access to critical systems and patient data.
-
Data breaches: Exposing sensitive patient information, leading to identity theft, medical fraud, and reputational damage for the healthcare provider.
-
Phishing attacks: Targeting healthcare personnel with emails or messages designed to steal login credentials or access to patient data.
-
Evolving Attack Techniques: Cybercriminals are constantly developing new methods to exploit vulnerabilities in outdated systems or human error through social engineering tactics.
-
-
Protecting Patient Health Information (PHI): in addition to the GDPR and UK DPA, the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates strict data privacy protections for patient health information (PHI). Healthcare providers must ensure they collect, store, and use PHI responsibly.
-
Navigating the Evolving Regulatory Landscape: Keeping pace with evolving data privacy regulations and demonstrating ongoing, GDPR, UK DPA and / or HIPAA compliance can be a complex task for healthcare organisations.
-
-
Growing Adoption of Connected Medical Devices: The healthcare industry is increasingly reliant on connected medical devices and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for patient monitoring, diagnostics, and treatment. These integrations introduce new attack surfaces that require careful consideration.
-
Inadequate Security Measures for Connected Devices: Medical devices may have limited built-in security features, making them vulnerable to hacking and manipulation.
