October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Throughout the month we will be asking our experts to help us navigate cybersecurity in healthcare. This week we take on ransomware and AI-driven attacks.
By Scott Doerr – Unstructured data may not make headlines like ransomware or phishing, but it’s one of the fastest-growing and most overlooked risks in healthcare. Files, folders, and collaboration platforms — from SharePoint to Teams to cloud storage — are where sensitive information is created, copied, and shared daily.
The National Cybersecurity Alliance and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) lead this annual October campaign to remind everyone to stay safe online, protect your personal data, and ultimately help secure our world.
By Devin Partida – One of the most crucial responsibilities in healthcare is protecting patient information. Federal and state regulations determine what healthcare professionals can share, but loved ones want to be involved and informed of what’s happening.
By Ellie Gabel – Forgotten Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) devices often sit quietly on hospital networks, but they can become some of the most dangerous blind spots for health care organizations. Left unpatched or unmanaged, these devices provide easy entry points for ransomware attacks, patient data theft and service interruptions that disrupt clinical operations.
By Matt Fisher – Access to data and the enablement of data flow are significant issues and concerns within healthcare. In particular, individuals often have a hard time getting to their own data. Those difficulties exist even with different regulations in place designed to promote and require access to data.
By Zac Amos – Healthcare providers are more connected to global supply chains than ever before. They rely on them for advanced medical devices, critical pharmaceuticals and digital health tools that power modern care.
By Andrew Mahler – Imagine a large health system implementing an advanced AI-powered imaging tool designed to assist radiologists in identifying abnormalities in chest CT scans. The AI vendor’s marketing materials include data demonstrating faster turnaround times and reduced error rates, promising enhanced efficiency and accuracy.
