By the end of 2016, it was apparent the healthcare industry has a long way to go when it comes to cybersecurity, according to an article on the Health IT Security website.
According to experts, some of the main cybersecurity challenges from 2016 were:
• IoT and outdated technology. The massive DDoS attack on DYN that shut down some major websites, stemmed from unprotected digital cameras. And old computers using outdated software or insufficient protection against attack have become a big issue in healthcare.
• The rise in hacking attempts. Medical information is valuable, both in the hands of hackers for their own use, as well as to the healthcare organizations that depend on such information to operate.
