In 2015 healthcare witnessed some of if not the largest security exploits in history.
99 million healthcare records were thought to be compromised through around 93 different attacks. Overall the industry costs for security breaches exceeded it seems $6 billion.
Moving forward in 2016: a lot of process change needs to happen.
This not only extends to best practices of network and enterprise security; but also common sense knowledge of how to mitigate social engineering and back door attacks.
Enabling multi-factor biometrics for secure and authorized authentication enables best practice to displace the legacy password model.
Even if you had the common access card with the magnetic strip or embedded chip today, how do you know that this is the person with authorized access?
The question for healthcare organizations moving forward is as follows: Will your cybersecurity strategy be able to thrwat dedicated and evolving threats from the edge, through the wireless space, to the back end?
