Protecting Cloud Apps Common in Healthcare with API Security — Security Today

With the rise of cloud computing in healthcare, API security has become a crucial concern for healthcare information systems (HIS) applications. APIs are susceptible to hacking, potentially granting unauthorized access to cloud-based applications and data, leading to breaches, fines, legal issues and reputational damage. Security measures must be prioritized to protect APIs handling sensitive patient data, such as medical records and personal health information, ensuring transmission and storage align with regulations like HIPAA and GDPR.
