How Does Technology Contribute to Security Vulnerabilities?
The integration of technology in healthcare, such as Electronic Health Records (EHRs), telehealth platforms, and mobile health apps, has significantly improved patient care. However, these technologies also introduce new risks. For instance, unencrypted data transmission, outdated software, and inadequate access controls can make systems susceptible to cyberattacks. Phishing attacks and ransomware are common threats that can lead to data breaches, compromising sensitive patient information.
