The challenge

The healthcare industry has become one of the most attractive targets for cybercriminals, forcing medical services providers to overcome many challenges.

Protecting sensitive personal and health information

Preventing, mitigating, and investigating insider threats

Increasing visibility into how medical staff interact with health records

Complying with data privacy and security regulations and laws

Ensuring secure cooperation with third-party contractors and remote staff

Providing secure access to data from health trackers and medical devices

How insider threats can harm healthcare institutions

Breaches of PHI

Insider threats may result in unauthorized access to patients’ protected health information (PHI). Malicious actors may exploit the compromised data for identity theft, medical fraud, or other illegal activities.

Operational disruptions

As a result of insider threats, healthcare organizations often face the loss of critical data, service outages, and poor productivity that lead to negative business outcomes, such as revenue losses.

Compromised care

The compromised integrity of patients’ PHI and operational inefficiency of healthcare entities caused by insider threats may hamper the course of treatment and put patients’ safety and health at risk.

Regulatory penalties

PHI compromise can be viewed as a violation of industry regulations (e.g. HIPAA) and can lead to penalties for an organization that fails to prevent or sufficiently respond to insider threats.

Reputational damage

Negative publicity surrounding insider security incidents can damage the organization’s reputation and make it difficult to attract and retain patients and staff.

Financial losses

Altogether, hefty non-compliance fines, compensation and recovery costs, impaired business operations, and lost business opportunities can lead to significant financial losses for healthcare entities.

Establishing effective insider threat prevention for healthcare providers is crucial if you are to avoid these and other negative consequences of insider threats. Syteca can help minimize insider risks in your healthcare organization and provide a sufficient level of health data protection.

FAQ

Healthcare organizations can secure patient data, including protected health information (PHI), by following security best practices. These include implementing data encryption measures, strict access controls, strong authentication policies, and data backup procedures, among others. Deploying healthcare cybersecurity solutions like insider risk management platforms, privileged access management tools, user activity monitoring solutions, and data loss prevention systems can also enhance data protection efforts in healthcare organizations.

Yes, there are various regulations specific to the healthcare industry. Examples include the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the US, the Health Information Privacy Code (HIPC) in New Zealand, and the Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA) in Ontario, Canada. Healthcare entities need to check the legislation of the regions they operate in to know what regulations they must comply with. 

A dedicated healthcare cybersecurity solution can help a healthcare organization comply with the security requirements required by industry-specific laws and regulations.

Hackers target healthcare due to the high value of sensitive patient data, which includes personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI). They often use such data for identity theft, insurance fraud, and other criminal activity. Additionally, the critical nature of healthcare services makes institutions more likely to pay ransoms and presents attractive opportunities for cybercriminals seeking monetary gain. 

Deploying healthcare security solutions can help healthcare organizations protect sensitive information from hackers.

Effectively detecting and responding to cybersecurity incidents requires healthcare enterprises to have a comprehensive incident response program (IRP) in place. We suggest establishing an IRP in accordance with the guidelines from NIST by taking the following steps:

  • Establish an incident response team
  • Plan all incident response procedures in advance
  • Monitor user activity
  • Take care of backups and recovery strategies
  • Update the IRP regularly.

To enhance the effectiveness of your IRP, consider deploying a dedicated healthcare security solution, such as Syteca.

Employee training and awareness is crucial for healthcare data security. Cybersecurity awareness training ensures that the staff understands security protocols, the importance of following them, and key indicators of potential threats. Regular employee training also reduces the risk of human error, such as the accidental disclosure of sensitive data or falling victim to social engineering attacks.
