Mitigating Cybersecurity Threats in Healthcare: Proactive Strategies for IT Directors

Understanding the Cybersecurity Landscape in Healthcare

Healthcare organizations are prime targets for cybercriminals due to the valuable nature of medical data and the critical need for system uptime.

Ransomware:

Malicious software that encrypts data and demands a ransom for its release.

Phishing:

Deceptive emails designed to trick users into revealing sensitive information or downloading malware.

Data Breaches:

Unauthorized access to sensitive patient information.

DDoS Attacks:

Distributed denial-of-service attacks that disrupt network services by overwhelming traffic.
