How Does Infrastructure Modernization Impact Healthcare Security?

  Healthcare IT leaders know outdated infrastructure puts patient data at risk, but as they move from on-premises systems to cloud, hybrid or colocated environments, modernization itself can introduce new security vulnerabilities.Modern platforms promise better scalability and operational agility, but they also require tighter, more coordinated security frameworks to defend against increasingly sophisticated attacks.This fragmentation can lead to blind spots, and in healthcare, where protected health information (PHI) is a prime target, that’s a dangerous gap to leave unguarded.As systems expand into the cloud, the attack surface grows, making consistent, centralized security policy enforcement essential.
