The accelerated digital transformation in healthcare has extended the healthcare ecosystem exponentially. Wearables and monitoring devices, the acceptance of telehealth as a care modality, and the explosion of patient-facing apps – and more — have all taken cybersecurity from something that was in the backroom in the mid-2000s to the boardroom today.Given recent high-profile ransomware attacks affecting patient care and data security, the stakes have never been higher when it comes to ensuring care continuity while meeting expanding regulatory requirements.The healthcare and life sciences cybersecurity profession must continue to meet the pace of need with the pace of speed when it comes to ensuring operational resilience, patient safety, and data security — into 2023 and beyond.

Blockchain expert Maria Palombini, director, healthcare and life sciences practice lead, global business strategy and intelligence, at the IEEE Standards Association, discusses where the tech is making progress and where it's lagging.

Healthcare is no different from other industries from a threat landscape perspective. Of course, the stakes are higher because hospitals are responsible for ensuring the care of their patients, but the protections needed are quite standard. In this podcast we debunk the myths of healthcare cybersecurity. We focus on strategic security initiatives you must take specific to healthcare, how to invest in the right personnel, and immediate steps needed to secure your sensitive patient and organizational systems. 

Patient data collected from doctor visits, diagnosis, and medication, as well as the data collected through wearables play a huge role in delivering care. However, healthcare data is very complex and carries sensitive information making it difficult to share healthcare data and provide a unified view.With Apexon’s Patient 360, built on AWS, we enable healthcare firms to overcome data silos, securely process and monetize their data, achieve HL7/ FHIR interoperability, and enable regulatory reporting and compliance by leveraging pre-built accelerators and reference architecture.
