These cyberattacks can disrupt service, steal confidential data, and harm patient safety, which affects the trust of patients in these organizations. Healthcare practitioners also play a role in safeguarding data by staying aware and implementing best practices, such as encryption, managing access controls, updating systems, and moving towards minimal privilege principles.
