Medical Cybersecurity for Patient Data Protection
Choose Cliffside Cybersecurity as your trusted Medical Cybersecurity provider
As healthcare providers increasingly rely on digital records and connected devices, the need to protect sensitive patient information grows. Cyber threats, such as data breaches and ransomware attacks, frequently target medical practices, making robust healthcare cyber security essential for maintaining patient privacy and trust. Data breaches expose confidential patient information, potentially leading to identity theft, fraud or public exposure of private records. Ransomware, a type of malware, can lock healthcare providers out of their systems until a ransom is paid, crippling operations and restricting access to critical patient information.
