Getting a handle on the unique challenges of hospital data security

Healthcare organizations face unique security challenges due to their traditional IT environment, clinical technologies used in care delivery, and electronic health records (EHR) systems. With limited security staff and vulnerabilities in medical devices and EHR systems, healthcare IT leaders need to understand the different technologies in use and develop a comprehensive security strategy. In addition to focusing on ransomware, organizations should also consider unseen attackers who may hide within their systems to steal patient data. Michael Murray, CEO of Scope Security, will discuss healthcare security best practices at HIMSS21.
