Healthcare Cyber Security System Integration
Although cyber security may seem like the utmost priority for most businesses, the level of security measures differs among industries. Cyber security is one of the most emphasized efforts in the financial industry due to the obvious direct monetary risk. Until the last few years however, the risk has not been as top of a priority in the healthcare industry.
In recent years, hospitals and healthcare institutions have faced the consequences of cyber security system breaches. According to a study completed by the Brookings Institution, 23% of all data breaches occur in the healthcare industry and that percentage is increasing every year. In the past two years alone, the total number of healthcare data breach victims has tripled, with over 155 million Americans impacted by these breaches in the past six years.
The loss of personal health data is just as vital to protect as any other personal data. Not only can it put your customer at risk, it’s extremely expensive. The healthcare industry has the highest per-record cost for data breaches, with each record loss costing $363. In addition to facing high costs to resolve data breaches, these healthcare industries and hospitals risk losing long-term customer trust.
