Phishing Attacks – A Concern for Healthcare

Healthcare continues to remain susceptible to cyber attacks – specifically phishing, whether it is to obtain private health information or disable their networks with a ransomware attack.

The healthcare industry relies heavily on their connectivity, probably more so than other industries and the impact of such breaches is devastating not only for the facility, but also for those who may have their personal information out in the wild.   In some instances the phishing attacks are extremely sophisticated and even with training, it may still pass the inspection.  A multi-layered security approach must be considered, including training, as well as endpoint protection and detection.
