When cyber-criminals gain access to a person’s healthcare information, they can create credit and obtain medical services in that name, and wreak other sorts of havoc. By analyzing data from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (from more than 6,000 healthcare organizations), the speaker and her co-researcher have identified factors that occurred consistently in those organizations’ security breaches. These risk factors should be considered in developing a risk management plan (as required by HIPAA). Knowing these factors can help decrease cybersecurity risk for health care providers.
