DNS Security in Healthcare: The Gem in Your Cybersecurity Arsenal

The increasing ransomware, malware, and phishing attacks on the healthcare industry, particularly through the Domain Name System (DNS), are a significant concern. In 2022, there were over 546 major data breaches, a 4% increase from the previous year. Over 178 million healthcare records have been stolen due to cybercrime since 2016. Using DNS security may effectively counter this. Steps like DNS logging, locking the DNS cache, and DNS Security Extensions can help secure data. Healthcare industry leaders need to prioritize cyber security measures to protect their customers.
