Cybersecurity Methods To Safeguard Healthcare Data

Abstract

With the increasing digitization of medical records and the adoption of electronic health information systems, healthcare data security has grown more demanding in order to ensure patient privacy, data integrity, and regulatory compliance. In this paper we are discussing different cybersecurity techniques which are used to strengthen healthcare organizations security posture and protect private patient data. Important strategies include thorough employee training, incident response planning, network segmentation, intrusion detection systems, and strict access controls and multi-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access. Encryption can be used for both protecting data and in transit at rest. The cybersecurity architecture in healthcare settings is further strengthened by compliance with pertinent rules, such as GDPR and HIPAA. Healthcare companies can enhance patient data security by putting these cybersecurity precautions into practice.
