Disruptive cyberattacks against healthcare organizations are on the rise, posing significant risks to patient care and safety. As cybercriminals become more sophisticated, the vulnerabilities within healthcare systems are increasingly targeted, leading to data breaches, ransomware attacks, and service disruptions. These attacks not only compromise sensitive patient information but can also directly impact the quality of care provided. Delays in accessing medical records, disruptions to critical systems, and increased operational costs can hinder healthcare providers' ability to deliver timely and effective treatment. Protecting patient data and maintaining trust in the healthcare system must be a top priority.

Part 1: Healthcare cybersecurity only matters after a breach? Did you know a ransomware attack has been linked to a patient's death? I hope to raise awareness around this crucial topic. Did you know that 67% of healthcare organizations were hit by ransomware in 2023? 🏥🔒 Why am I not seeing more popular or viral posts about the recent Cybersecurity bill that came into effect on August 26, 2024? Strangely, even if you search hashtags like #Cybersecurity and #Healthcare, there's not much buzz about it. The #Malaysia Cybersecurity Act 2024 lists Healthcare Services as one of the National Critical Information Infrastructure sectors. Link here: https://lnkd.in/gvecApnD This means healthcare organizations must prioritize and strengthen their cybersecurity measures to safeguard patient data and critical systems from escalating threats. At HIMSS, we developed Public Policy Principles to ensure all governments, regardless of their structure, payment system, or geography, are equipped with the tools needed to enhance policies that support rapid innovation and address the growing complexity of healthcare delivery systems to meet the needs of their populations. What you see in the carousel below is just the surface of our public policy. I encourage you to download and read the full policy principles here: https://lnkd.in/gqRhFwRK Let me know your thoughts in the comments below! Stay tuned for Part 2, where I'll delve into the tragic case of a patient's death linked to a ransomware attack. #DigitalHealth #HealthcareCybersecurity #EMR #ifbutwhen #HIMSS

In 2023, 58% of the 77.3 million individuals affected by data breaches were due to an attack on a healthcare business associate. That’s because healthcare hackers increasingly target third-party vendors rather than hospital systems themselves, according to John Riggi, the American Hospital Association (AHA)’s national advisor for cybersecurity and risk. Attacking vendors like medical device firms, supply chain vendors, and others that deal with multiple healthcare systems can allow hackers to harm many healthcare organizations through a single successful breach. Pivot Point Consulting, a Vaco Company, provides cybersecurity assessments, remediation planning, policy development and training to protect patient data and clinical systems against evolving threats.     https://lnkd.in/e6zzZiAc I #Cybersecurity | #HealthcareData | #HealthTech | #HealthSystems
