医疗组织的6个网络安全治疗

According to Aruba's new global study 'The Internet of Things: Today and Tomorrow'[1]此外，87％的医疗保健组织将于2019年通过物联网，76％的人认为这将改变该行业。

While the transition towards a future healthcare model—one that embraces a technology-driven approach to better meet the demands of diverse region—bodes well, it is a horror show waiting to happen when seen from a cybersecurity point of view.

According to Frost & Sullivan,Asia Pacific's healthcare IT market is expected to reach $12.6 billionby 2020, as innovations such as telemedicine, remote monitoring and activity trackers are showing their value in enhancing the way healthcare professionals care for their patients. The significant monetary potential in healthcare IT is attracting the unwanted attention of cyber criminals, armed with an arsenal that ranges from phishing schemes to ransomware, to attack an industry that is ripe for the picking.

This shows in the numbers:89 percent of healthcare organisations suffered an IoT-related security breach, while 49 percent of them have struggled with malware. The study also found that human error and DDoS were also concerns .As hackers begin to deploy intricately planned targeted attacks, whether by breaching confidential systems or attacking websites, these can cause healthcare organizations to come to a standstill—and in the worst scenario, endanger the patient's wellbeing.

Just recently, we have seen aglobal ransomware attackthat disabled healthcare workers of Britain's National Health Service, as well as hospitals in China, Indonesia and Japan, from accessing patient records, and resulting in canceled appointments and even delayed emergency operations.

MRI machines and CT scanners are primarily designed for data collection not security, while users are too careless to observe basic cybersecurity protocols such as connecting on non-encrypted Wi-Fi connections. This opens the door for opportunistic hackers to siphon sensitive information that can be sold or used for ransom.

So how can you ensure that your healthcare organization is safe from the hands of cyber criminals? Here are six cybersecurity treatments that healthcare organizations should prescribe to for safer practices—to ensure optimal operations and patients' peace of mind.

1. Know what connected devices are up to.In an environment where patients use mobile devices and healthcare workerstrack medical processes如此，知道哪些设备连接到网络以及它们用于帮助筛选热量的漏洞。
2. 单独的Wi-Fi接入患者和家庭。As the number of devices connecting to an unsecure network increases, it is important to introduce policies to分部来自医院交通的嘉宾流量为了确保可以由合适的人员访问数据，同时触及威胁。
3. Educate user digital hygiene.随着依赖数字便利的依赖，用户是becoming sloppy with cybersecurity保存几秒钟。预防尤为良好药，因此执行端点运行状况检查，以确保笔记本电脑完全符合内部要求，并始终检查设备连接之前的最新软件修补程序和更新。
4. 有一个网络安全的综合方法。访问个人或医院发出的设备上的患者信息正在变得普遍，因此确保这些设备配置了适当的权限是键。简单的参数，例如用户角色，设备，位置，应用程序使用和时间的时间有助于管理这些连接。
5. Strike partnerships with the experts.Any outage in technology can potentially lead to fatal consequences. Having partnerships with the right technology companies will go a long way in building a secure yet comprehensive ecosystem of medical devices and healthcare apps that are always ready for the needs of both patients and staff.
6. Establish a security culture.With most attacks, a single user can cause an entire organization's shutdown by giving themaccess to the database. Make sure that employees are guided on how to recognize suspicious emails, corrupted files, unsecure websites, and other red flags. By equipping everybody with best practices and know-how can eliminate many easy avenues of hacking from criminals.

Hospitals are often stressful environments for both patients and healthcare staff. As technology rapidly integrates to transform the healthcare experience into a positive one, the priority for all healthcare institutions will be to ensuring the security of the devices, critical care applications, and patient data through these treatment tips.
