For more than two decades, Cybersecurity Awareness Month has been dedicated to teaching everyone how to stay safe and secure online. It was created as a collaborative effort between government and industry to ensure every American has the resources they need to stay safer and more secure online. It was launched by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in October 2004 as a broad effort to help all Americans stay safer and more secure online.
Throughout October we will be spotlighting cybersecurity in healthcare.
The National Cybersecurity Alliance and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) lead the campaign and creates resources for organizations to talk to their employees and customers about staying safe online.
Last year we asked experts to weigh in on these top security challenges in healthcare.
- Sophisticated Ransomware and AI-Driven Attacks
- Third-Party and Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
- Legacy Systems and the Expanding Attack Surface
This year our research has uncovered the biggest challenges healthcare is facing in security and we have again asked our experts to weigh in. Look for these topics this year.
- Ransomware and Extortion Attacks
- Legacy Technology and Medical Device Vulnerabilities
- Data Fragmentation and Interoperability Gaps
