Practical Ways to Prevent a Cybersecurity Attack on Your Enterprise Cloud Imaging Data
By:听Sonia Gupta, MD, Chief Medical Officer at 电车无码
Join听Mike Swyt, chief information security officer, and Sonia Gupta, MD, chief medical officer 听at 电车无码, as they discuss practical steps that healthcare executives can take to safeguard their enterprise imaging data and prevent cyberthreats from impacting 听patient care.
The healthcare industry is highly prone to cybersecurity attacks. In the past year, serious security incidents increased by 70%. These incidents are deemed 鈥渟erious鈥 for several reasons, including data breaches and high cost. Whenever a hospital experiences a breach, the costs average around $9.2 million per incident. Read on to discover practical ways to prevent a cybersecurity attack on your enterprise cloud imaging data.
Between phishing emails, outdated systems, and unprotected hardware, many vulnerabilities and entry points exist within healthcare systems. These vulnerabilities leave the hospital open to worst-case scenarios, such as shutting down an ER or a critical system (like radiology) and diverting patients to other facilities.
Enhance security to improve speed and scalability
Being in a cloud-native multi-tenant environment鈥攐ne that offers seamless updates in the background and follows the highest security rigor with third-party certification鈥攑rovides you with a highly secure imaging environment. Offering third-party certification to address cybersecurity challenges is key. By helping customers move to听 cloud-native and having them on the latest version, we help protect valuable patient data, proactively address security issues, and prevent hackers from attacking legacy systems that might be vulnarable.
Behind EHRs, imaging data is the second largest data set in healthcare. By reducing vulnerabilities to outdated and underprotected systems, hospitals can enable a more secure environment for keeping patient data safe. With cloud innovation, security updates happen seamlessly in the background. In other words, improved efficiency is an enhanced technology output. Cloud-native architecture eliminates the need for hospital IT managed hardware and software updates because it lets organizations elastically scale and automatically stay on the latest version. Cloud-native architecture offers speed, security, and scalability鈥攁ll critical functions for clinicians seeking workflow efficiency.
Cloud-native innovation鈥檚 benefits extend beyond cybersecurity and workflow efficiency to address other concerns prevalent throughout enterprise imaging. For example, clinicians鈥 number one concern is delivering patient care, and downtime prevents care delivery. Because multi-tenant cloud-native innovation eliminates the disruptive nature of updates that can take down a PACs system, clinicians are not stressed by the updates. Instead, updates are integrated into the system seamlessly. Clinicians don鈥檛 even know they鈥檙e happening and care is delivered without interruption.听
Preventive measures to ensure a more secure environment
For starters, organizations can shore up their technical debt by updating their imaging systems. Doing so can also help prevent a bigger issue of cleaning up and catching up on security issues. It鈥檚 also important to implement two-factor access to data to strengthen the systems鈥 access controls.
In addition to updating systems and strengthening access controls, it鈥檚 critical to develop a robust training culture that continually teaches employees how to spot sophisticated phishing emails and other social engineering attacks. One email is all it takes to penetrate and shut down a hospital system and cost an organization millions.听
Also organizations can look at each solution鈥檚 cloud infrastructure provider and how that entity is securing the cloud environment and ask about the standards they are applying. Those using third-party certification and standards alignment鈥攚hich indicates what security protocols are in place鈥攁re using the highest standards and are engaged in the best security practices.
