What are the most common cybersecurity threats in Nursing?
Nursing, like many other fields, is increasingly reliant on technology. With this reliance comes a range of cybersecurity threats that can compromise patient care and confidentiality. Some of the most common threats include:
- Phishing Attacks: These are fraudulent attempts to obtain sensitive information, often through misleading emails or messages. - Ransomware: Malicious software that locks healthcare systems and demands payment for the decryption key. - Data Breaches: Unauthorized access to patient records and other sensitive information. - Insider Threats: Employees or other insiders who misuse their access to data.
