Our new guide, The Healthcare CISO's Guide to Cybersecurity Transformation, highlights the latest trends in healthcare today and where security leaders should focus their defensive efforts going forward.
Malicious attacks on healthcare have grown exponentially in recent years.
Large breaches involving ransomware increased by 278%. Healthcare in particular is a prime target.
New technologies in the field can dramatically improve outcomes while new care delivery models make the experience of receiving care much more pleasant for patients.
Understanding the largest drivers of healthcare transformation today is key to securing digital transformation and providing the quality of care patients deserve.
Telehealth and remote patient monitoring are revolutionizing the care delivery experience.
Patients enjoy better access to care, especially those with disabilities or those who live in underserved communities.
While innovations, like remote care, optimize patient-centric care delivery, they also introduce new cybersecurity challenges.
Remote care requires access to EMRs, PHI, virtual visits and RPM devices delivered from multiple channels: Data centers, cloud providers and SaaS providers.
Security teams must also manage the IT infrastructure and connectivity between hospitals and patients.
Ultimately, this shift toward decentralized care delivery models expands the attack surface and makes securing the entire network much more painstaking.
Preventing data compromise and risks to patient safety requires securing these connected devices from end to end.
Complete visibility among the diversity of devices can be extremely challenging, especially among providers practicing distributed-care delivery models.
Devices are often connected to complex medical IT environments while located in medical centers, remote clinics and patient homes.
Applications and services are now hosted in data centers and the cloud, or they're delivered by SaaS providers, while clinicians deliver care from anywhere using an array of connected medical devices.
Healthcare organizations often attempt to secure this digital landscape by tacking on point product solutions that provide a single security function each.
Today's healthcare cybersecurity can't run on multiple disjointed products.
Continuous care delivery requires a unified approach designed to identify and prevent known and unknown threats in real time.
Our newest guide delves into the many challenges of securing healthcare digital transformation, and how cybersecurity consolidation empowers security teams to protect data, support better patient outcomes, accelerate innovation, and ensure positive experiences for both patients and providers.
