Security News > 2021 > January > Hospitals under siege: 5 ways to boost cybersecurity as the COVID-19 vaccine rolls out

In November, after a series of hacks directed at Universal Health Services and others, the cybersecurity agency CISA warned of an "Increased cybercrime threat to U.S. hospitals and healthcare providers."

Large healthcare organizations can have a potentially vast attack surface, so making an inventory of potential vulnerabilities is essential.

AI tools can help in the inventory of the attack surface and enable healthcare organizations to maintain an accurate and up-to-date asset inventory in real time.

Healthcare organizations need systems that continuously back up their data via digital storage, enabling point-in-time recovery so that vital data is not lost.

Every healthcare organization requires a security response team that can proactively thwart future attacks as well as respond to any current incidents.

Healthcare organizations are stretched to the limit by the pandemic and cybersecurity may not be at the forefront of workers' minds.
