How healthcare security can protect data without sacrificing care

Key strategies such as network segmentation and threat modeling are among the approaches that can increase safeguards for patient services.

In the first article of this series, I outlined why healthcare’s “Golden Hour” creates a unique opportunity for attackers. In the second article, I detailed some of the other specific challenges that healthcare organizations face. That’s a lot to chew on, and it paints the picture of an industry constantly under siege from outside threats.

But that’s not the whole story, because attackers aren’t the only ones fine-tuning their tactics and leveraging advanced new technology. In this article, it’s time to show how healthcare organizations can modernize their approaches to cybersecurity and avoid becoming easy targets for opportunistic attackers.
