Integrated Technology Means Integrated Dangers

DANGERS IN THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY

The growing dependence on technology has brought a similar upsurge in cyberattacks, particularly in the healthcare industry. Even small clinics can store PHI (Personal Health Information) for thousands of patients – valuable commodities on the underground market.

To make matters worse, the traditional culture of many healthcare facilities often leaves IT behind the times – and vulnerable to attack. With multiple attack vectors it can be difficult to quantify the threats to your unique environment. Outer Orbitprovides expertise in these niche areas and focuses on helping healthcare organizations meet HIPAA compliance requirements.

 
 
 
 
 

Healthcare Compliance Requirements

The medical industry is one of the most widely regulated industries in the U.S. due to the quantity and sensitivity of medical information in healthcare companies. The primary regulation for these organizations is HIPAA, which mandates all organizations holding PHI to adhere to a standardized set of controls – a compliance mandate which can be a burden for even the most prepared.

 

Healthcare Challenges

Limited tech budgets and slow-moving culture are both are common challenges in healthcare. These can often be addressed with management by identifying the costs incurred by hacked medical companies – such as Anthem and Premera.

Managed security services (such as our Cyber Threat Mitigation™ service) is a common channel for SMB’s stretching security budget while decreasing overall risk.

Potential Impacts:

  • HIPAA Compliance/HITECH Penalties
  • Breach Lawsuit/Legal Fees
  • Operational Downtime/Medical Impact
  • Negative Press/Public Relations
