The Importance of Cybersecurity in the Medical World
It should not come as a surprise that poor cybersecurity planning, especially in the medical world, can negatively impact lives.
Last month ArsTechnica reported that a patient had passed after a hospital’s network was successfully hacked through a ransomware attack. The patient had to be re-routed to another hospital further away after seeking emergency medical treatment from the hospital with the compromised network. This prevented her from receiving the immediate care she required. This is just one example of how crucial of a role cybersecurity plays in the medical world.
Another example happened in 2019 as a Battle Creek doctor’s office closed their doors permanently after suffering from a ransomware attack (read more about ransomware here).
