A primer on healthcare cybersecurity threats & risks in APAC

The biggest challenge for organizations in cybersecurity is aligning it with business priorities. Jega Ponnudurai, Industry General Manager at DXC Technology, suggests linking the costs and benefits of cybersecurity to the value of regulatory compliance. Healthcare organizations should invest more in security frameworks for critical segments such as clinical documentation and patient data confidentiality. Key lessons from healthcare data breaches include the need for internal security, independent cybersecurity auditors, and diligent scoping of cloud data assets. Application security in clinical applications is often overlooked. Budget constraints and a lack of trained experts can be managed by studying the impact of breaches and adopting cloud-based services with cyber defense strategies.
