Prevent Downtime
Losing the ability to see your patients has an impact on your revenue stream and reputation. If your systems are down due to a cyber-attack, you cannot access patient records and the quality of care will surely diminish. Having a proactive approach to your security can prevent this from happening.
Avoid HIPAA Fines
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for enforcing HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules. They can evaluate compliance and investigate any possible violations. Failure to comply can result in hefty fines and unrest in your patients’ trust.
High-Risk Industry
Due to the sensitivity of patient health records and often inadequate security, the healthcare industry is a big target for hackers. Often leaving healthcare providers no choice, but to pay a ransom to try and get the information back. Oftentimes, when a ransom is paid the access, is not restored.
Collaborative Working
Collaborative working is critical in the healthcare industry to find the best solution for every patient. When practitioners and staff connect to the network from a new device, it opens a new stream that can become compromised. An entire organization can be compromised from a single device.
Staff Education
Medical professionals need to have knowledge of potential threats to eliminate easy attacks. Cybersecurity solutions can be complex, but a little education can go a long way in avoiding simple phishing scams. Knox Medical Technology will be able to help in this process along with the necessary training for your team.
Outdated Technology
As medical technology advances at an incredibly fast rate, IT security needs to keep pace. Healthcare organizations are individually responsible for keeping everything up-to-date. It is critical that a part of your budget is set aside to keep patient data secure. Our team will customize a solution to fit your budget and protect your business.
