WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY AND WHY IS IT CRUCIAL FOR
HEALTHCARE?
3
Cyber security is a crucial part of modern
business, especially in the healthcare industry.
With increasing reliance on digital tools, cyber
threats are a serious and growing danger. Data
breaches are costly and can have serious
consequences for healthcare organizations, which
are particularly vulnerable to cyber attacks due
to their large data stores and sensitive patient
information.

WHAT IS CYBER SECURITY?
Cyber security is the practice of protecting
networks, computers, programs, and data from
unauthorized or unauthorized access, use, or
disclosure. It includes the prevention,
detection, and response to cyber attacks. It is
an essential part of healthcare, as it protects
sensitive data from potential cyberattacks.
Cyber Security in healthcare organizations must
take steps to protect themselves from malicious
actors who could exploit vulnerabilities to gain
access to patient data or disrupt operations.
Healthcare organizations can protect themselves
from cyberattacks by implementing strong cyber
security measures.

Malware
This is a type of software that is designed to
damage or disable computers. It can come in the
form of viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and
spyware. Phishing This is a type of online fraud
where criminals masquerade as legitimate
organizations to obtain personal
information. Denial of service attacks These
attacks happen when someone tries to prevent
legitimate users from accessing a website or
online service by flooding it with requests or
traffic until it crashes.
SQL injection This is a type of attack where
malicious code is injected into a database
through an input field on a web page. This can
allow attackers to gain access to sensitive data
or even take control of the entire system.

Educating employees about cyber security r isks
and best practices

• Implementing strict access
• controls to l imit who can access sensitive
  data.
• Encrypting all sensitive data both at rest and
  in transit.
• Regularly backing up data to prevent loss in the
  event of a breach.
• Putting in place incident response plans to
  mitigate the damage from a successful attack.

IMPORTANCE OF CYBER SECURITY

Cyber security in healthcare is essential, and
its importance is increasing with advancing
technology. Healthcare providers must protect
patient data through encryption, frequent
password changes, and network monitoring. Cybersec
urity breaches can have disastrous consequences,
so proactive measures must be taken now to
protect organizations.
