Healthcare IT News: Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity refers to the measures taken to avoid cybersecurity threats so that the electronic information is kept safe. It prevents the misuse of electronic devices (both software and hardware) and helps in protecting cybersecurity information. Cybersecurity solutions incorporate advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning-based algorithms to reduce the risks of potential cybersecurity threats. Like other business industries, the healthcare industry is also at risk of different cyber vulnerabilities (including data breaching, malware, ransomware, phishing attacks, cloud threats, etc.). Cybersecurity in healthcare plays a vital role in ensuring that medical organizations remain secure.
