Dentists and dental practices face unique challenges when it comes to Cyber Security. They are prime targets for hackers looking to compromise and steal patient data.
Many practices make the mistake of assuming only large Healthcare organizations are targeted by hackers. They assume small-to-mid-sized practices would never be on the radar of a professional hacking operation, and as such, are less likely to be targeted. In reality, the opposite is true. Hackers know that smaller practices are less likely to invest in cyber protection. That makes them easier to penetrate. And when those practices are compromised, they oftentimes can’t afford to pay the ransom, their practice suffers enormous reputational damage, and oftentimes, has no choice but to close its doors and leave many patients lost without providers they’ve come to know and trust.
In the last few years, 90 percent of Healthcare practices suffered cyber breaches. That means practices’ HIPAA-protected patient data was ransomed, exposed, or otherwise compromised, oftentimes with devastating consequences. Smart practices make the investment in Cyber Security before a breach puts them at risk.
