Is remote patient monitoring the new cybercrime target?

Healthcare organizations faced an average of 109 cyberattacks per week last year, making them the most targeted industry. The rise of care-at-home technologies has added another layer of concern, as patients who are monitored using health systems’ technology may not have strict cybersecurity protocols in place. Cybercriminals are targeting patients at home because they are less tech-savvy and more vulnerable to attacks. Healthcare organizations should provide patients with locked-down mobile devices to communicate and share data securely.
