Cybercriminals seek to take advantage of rapid telehealth scale-up

The rapid expansion of telehealth services during the pandemic has increased the risk of cybercrimes targeting patient data and causing service disruptions. Cybersecurity in healthcare is crucial to protect sensitive medical information and ensure patient safety. Organizations should prioritize security considerations at every level of the telehealth ecosystem and evaluate the security policies of third-party vendors. The availability of 5G technology also plays a role in healthcare cybersecurity. Healthcare executives must involve cybersecurity in discussions about healthcare innovations to prevent severe consequences.
