From the August 2018 issue of HealthCare Business News magazine
Cybersecurity
On average, successful cyber-attacks are now costing providers $2 million dollars per incident, according to HIPAA Journal. Safeguarding against cyber threats is now a number one priority and big challenge for healthcare providers.
Effective cybersecurity practices by your organization and your partners are essential for the continued safety and effectiveness of medical devices, especially with the increase of network- connected devices. At Canon Medical Systems, we created InnerVision Plus, which, through its network firewall features, provides 1:1 IP translation to isolate and protect the equipment on your network before imaging performance is affected.
To ensure that you get the most out of your diagnostic imaging systems, it is essential that you partner with a provider that offers solutions that guarantee constant security compliance, and that capability upgrades are meeting the demands of your practice.
Looking ahead I see continued growth in partnerships that deliver compliance and cybersecurity to extend the longevity of diagnostic systems, minimize costs and ultimately improve patient care.
