Cybersecurity
Healthcare cybersecurity protects patient data and medical systems from cyber threats, ensuring compliance with regulations like HIPAA.
What is at Risk?
The healthcare industry is a frequent target of cyber attacks due to several factors. Healthcare organizations typically have extensive and sometimes inadequately protected attack surfaces, making them attractive to threat actors. Moreover, patient health information (PHI) holds significant value on the black market. Disruptions in healthcare operations and the unavailability of critical patient data can have life-threatening consequences, while stringent privacy regulations like HIPAA mandate substantial fines for PHI disclosure, with penalties for violations reaching up to $1.81 million per calendar year for various infractions, hence, victims’ greater willingness to pay attackers to free themselves from ransomware. Here are some areas that ServeFed could help:
Endpoint Security
Protecting individual devices, like computers and medical equipment, from malware and unauthorized access using antivirus software, intrusion detection, encryption, and regular software updates.
Network Security
Securing the healthcare organization's network infrastructure with firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and virtual private networks (VPNs) to monitor and control network traffic, detect suspicious activity, and encrypt data transmission.
Data Encryption
Encrypting sensitive patient information both in transit and at rest using cryptographic algorithms to ensure confidentiality and integrity, helping healthcare organizations comply with privacy regulations like HIPAA.
Access Control
Restricting access to healthcare systems and patient data to authorized users through role-based access control (RBAC) and multi-factor authentication (MFA), ensuring that users have the appropriate permissions and additional security layers.
Security Awareness Training
Educating healthcare staff about cybersecurity best practices, such as recognizing phishing emails and avoiding clicking on malicious links, to raise awareness and prevent common threats, enhancing the overall security posture of the government agency or organization.
