How Can Nurses Protect Themselves and Their Patients?
Nurses can take several steps to protect themselves and their patients from cyber threats:
Training and Education: Regular training on cybersecurity best practices can help nurses recognize and avoid potential threats. Strong Passwords: Using complex passwords and changing them regularly can prevent unauthorized access. Two-Factor Authentication: Adding an extra layer of security ensures that even if passwords are compromised, unauthorized access is still difficult. Regular Software Updates: Keeping software and systems up to date can protect against known vulnerabilities. Secure Communication: Using encrypted communication channels for transmitting sensitive information can prevent interception by cybercriminals.
