When an attack or other issue occurs, the main difference between being down for months versus minutes or a day is having a mature and tested incident response plan. Without a plan, your cybersecurity team is flying blind, resulting in confusion and inefficiency that significantly slows your response time.
The report, 60% of Healthcare Orgs Admit Email Security Failure, highlights what Paubox says is a broken infrastructure at the heart of this issue, exposing millions to preventable risks. It also offers recommendations to fix the problems.
Much like preventative care in medicine — where doctors can detect potential illnesses and diseases in their early stages — healthcare facilities can improve their security posture through preemptive strategy and preventative measures.
At a time when AI is reshaping pharma, Reverba Global CEO Cheryl Lubbert explained in an interview why empathy, context, and ethics still require a human touch.
Cybersecurity and data protection in healthcare is only as strong as its weakest crack. Medical device makers, pharmaceutical firms, health IT, privacy equity, research organizations, and consolidated systems all play a role in vulnerabilities, and their shortcomings can ripple outward, endangering patient data and trust.
