| | September 20186UTLOOK Healthcare Tech Alex D'souzaManaging Editoreditor@healthcaretechoutlook.comA myriad of cybersecurity issues ranging from malware to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks has paralyzed the healthcare industry. Though the cyberattacks target every industry, healthcare is most vulnerable because of the high market value for patient records and other information. As per the IBM report, in 2015 alone there were more than 100 million breaches of medical records. While according to Becker's Hospital Review, data breaches cost the healthcare industry around $5.6 billion every year.Healthcare industry lags in several cybersecurity factors; lack of cybersecurity awareness tops them all. Also, while most healthcare organizations focus on improving their clinical care and hiring top-notch doctors and nurses, they often overlook the cybersecurity aspect. Another reason for the cyberattacks is the size of the organization; the bigger the size, the higher the chances of a breach. Also, with employees using different systems that are connected to large, shared wireless networks, it is tough to keep security under control. Unlike other industries, the healthcare sector needs proper strategies to overcome these challenges. Among several precautions, healthcare organizations need to practice diligent cyber hygiene and enhance the thoroughness of software patching and update processes. Reinforcing network segmentation and using advanced threat intelligence can also prove helpful. In addition to these, healthcare data professionals need to persistently develop new strategies and practices to ensure the safety of sensitive information, protecting both the patient and the organization from cyberattacks.Our goal with this special edition is to highlight the best-of-breed healthcare cybersecurity solution providers that leverage innovative technologies to deliver success.
