Cyber Security & Digital Compliance
About Cyber Security & Digital Compliance
Cybersecurity in healthcare protects sensitive patient data and infrastructure from threats, while compliance involves adhering to regulations like HIPAA to ensure data privacy, integrity, and availability, with both focusing on securing Electronic Health Records (EHRs), medical devices (IoMT), and networks through practices like encryption, access controls, staff training, and strong incident response plans to avoid breaches and maintain patient trust and legal standards. Key elements include risk management, secure system design, robust network security, and continuous monitoring, all guided by frameworks like NIST.
