My Favorite Takeaways From The Podcast

  • Ransomware is the biggest threat to any digital environment
  • Healthcare data is urgent – we need it to treat our patients.
  • Cyber security awareness is very low among healthcare providers.
  • Data loss often happens even when you can de-encrypt the data often resulting in 15% loss.
  • Without proper remediation, repeat ransomware attacks can happen.
  • Good backup insulate yourself from data loss, remediation costs, mandatory privacy breach reporting, loss of reputation, fines, and penalties.
  • Intrusion detection and prevention software can alert users to potential problems, but sometimes, individual users’ behaviour continues to put the practice at risk.
  • 90% -92% of successful breaches are facilitated by human error.
  • IT focus on efficient workflow and communications between systems. Security professionals monitor access to ensure it is authorized and appropriate. Both roles is necessary in our digital practices.

6 Mistakes Made By Dentists (And Their IT)

  1. Think that IT has them covered and that ransomware won't happen to me!
  2. Not updating and monitoring computer systems with intrusion prevention/detection.
  3. Don't have a comprehensive backup of all of your data in at least 3 locations.
  4. Don't run backup restore tests regularly.
  5. Don't have a written mandatory cyber security awareness training plan.
  6. Don't have an independent cyber security risk assessment and management plan annually.

Instead,

Take steps to prevent a ransomware attack – including cyber security education for your team, implement good IT systems, complete and comprehensive backup, and an annual cyber security risk assessment preventative digital IT health assessment.
