HEALTHCARE CYBERSECURITY


THE THREAT LANDSCAPE


Healthcare is facing unprecedented cyber threats with attacks increasing 650% since 2020.
Small providers face particular risk due to valuable data but limited security resources.



Why Healthcare is Targeted:

  • Patient records sell for $250-$1,000 on dark markets (50x more than credit cards)
  • Legacy systems often run outdated, unpatched software
  • Clinical urgency creates pressure to pay ransoms
  • Staff prioritize patient care over security procedures


Common Attack Vectors:

  1. Phishing campaigns disguised as insurance verifications
  2. Remote desktop vulnerabilities exploited after hours
  3. Third-party vendor breaches through connected systems
  4. Endpoint weaknesses on clinical devices and workstations


REMOTE HIPAA COMPLIANCE ESSENTIALS

            Our virtual compliance program addresses these threats through:

  • Risk Assessment: Identifying where PHI lives and flows through systems
  • Technical Safeguards: Implementing minimum necessary access and encryption
  • Policy Development: Creating usable documentation staff will actually follow
  • Incident Response: Preparing for breaches before they happen
  • Security Awareness: Converting staff from vulnerabilities into defenders

SPECIALIZED REMOTE PROVIDER GUIDANCE

                                 Virtual security assessments for practices of all sizes:

Essential Security Controls All Providers Need:

  • Multi-factor authentication on all systems containing PHI
  • Encrypted backup solutions with tested recovery procedures
