Cyber-attacks continue to threaten health care practices

Protection from cyber threats isn’t just a security issue, it is a business issue. What would happen if your practice was shut down for days or weeks because of a cyber-attack? How would you recover financially?

What if a ransom attack disabled your EHR and the only way to recover your patient records was by paying the ransom? How would you make the payment?

What if a staff member clicked “Reply to all” instead of “Reply” when sending protected health information? Accidents can happen to anyone. But this accident could mean a federal investigation, patient notification, and fines and penalties. How would you pay?

It may be time to evaluate your cyber coverage limits.
