Healthcare services have been becoming more and more digitized over the last decade, and this has led to a massive outbreak in cyberthreats that particularly target healthcare service providers. Healthcare providers need to take increased measures to protect sensitive patient data, ensure they meet regulatory compliances, and maintain the integrity of their data. Let’s explore cybersecurity best practices for healthcare facilities and talk about how this goes hand-in-hand with general IT services.

IT Management and Cybersecurity: Critical Factors for Healthcare Providers

In today’s modern world, technology and cybersecurity are integral parts of the healthcare industry. The use of electronic health records (EHRs), telemedicine, and other digital tools is essential to provide high-quality patient care.
