What Are the Risks of Using Unsecured Wi-Fi Networks?
Unsecured Wi-Fi networks can expose sensitive patient data to unauthorized access. Risks include data breaches, malware attacks, and interception of confidential information. For instance, nurses accessing EHRs over an unsecured network could inadvertently expose patient details, leading to privacy violations. Additionally, unsecured networks can be exploited to install malicious software on devices, compromising the entire healthcare facility's IT infrastructure.
