As more devices enter the healthcare ecosystem – many of which are connected to the EHR – it’s becoming increasingly difficult to manage, according to our panelists in a recent webinar. In fact, “we’ve never had a more challenging environment.”
As more individuals are able to access patient data, it’s becoming increasingly important to ensure continuous training is provided, and that the technology and processes are in place to enable early detection, according to our security experts.
The rise of digital health has transformed the patient experience; however, it has also resulted in increased security risks, according to our panelists, who discuss the importance of collaboration in safeguarding patient data.
With remote care becoming increasingly common, CISOs no longer view medical device security as a separate entity; but rather, part of a more holistic approach, according to our expert panelists.
The most sophisticated cybersecurity solutions on the market can’t keep data safe unless the right processes are in place, which includes consistent education and effective communication, say our panelists. “It’s not about tools and technology; it’s about people.”
