- The Challenge and Future of Cyber Security for Healthcare across the globe?
In the modern era of technological advancements, healthcare as an industry has always been one of the key targets for cybercriminals globally. They are meticulous in their approach to creep in and gain access to private and confidential data that the healthcare industry possesses. To put it in perspective, the healthcare industry in India has faced 1.9 million cyber-attacks till November 28 this year.
Major challenges faced by the healthcare sector:
- Automate and re-engineer the manual processes to enhance the quality of healthcare services.
- Build specific service modules to meet the operational requirements and miscellaneous service needs of the hospital through digital transformation of internal systems.
- Requirement of targeted solutions – HMIS, PACS, QMS, LMS, EMS solution
- Initiating data migration through technology transformation within the existing healthcare system.
The usage of healthcare digital tools streamlines the disruptive operational scenario and improves patient care. These smart digital tools include Telemedicine, IoT sensors, and internet-connected medical devices to stay adept in the vulnerability scenario and detect malicious activities.
- How can organizations prepare themselves to avoid cyber-attacks?
Deploying cyber security enhances visibility and gives control to accomplish enterprise goals bound by digital transformation. Here’s a look at some of the trending cyber security solutions capable of running internal and external scans across your IT network, applications and databases:
- Application of Managed Security Solutions to gain access to advanced threat monitoring and analysis
- Application of Decentralized Security Technique. The data is split into multiple pieces similar to a puzzle, making it difficult for the attackers to identify constructive data to break through.
- Application of Blockchain Security sets restricted access to organizational data and only keeps open to trusted members of a particular department/team.
- A vulnerability assessment solution comprehensively identifies security vulnerabilities and defines the risk level that exists.
- Security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) capabilities improve the management of security alerts within an organization.
- What are your views on the emerging cyber security market at an international level?
The increasing use of 5G technology and soaring demand for IoT devices is likely to strengthen market progress. Modern technologies are more vulnerable to attacks and hence, require high levels of network security. On the other hand, excessive usage of IoT devices as well as email & web-based applications makes it essential for enterprises to defend their IT infrastructure against rapidly evolving threats.
Today, manufacturers are investing in Industry 4.0 innovation and leveraging cutting-edge automation, AI, and hyper-connected infrastructure technology to compete in a global market.
