Nextech CIO & CISO Shares Perspective on Phishing Threats in Healthcare
The first part of HealthIT Answers' series on Cybersecurity Awareness Month focuses on phishing threats. Nextech Chief Information Officer and Chief Information Security Officer David Slazyk explained his concerns about this pervasive cybercrime method and the role technology can play in helping prevent it.
"In the healthcare industry, the stakes are even higher because we’re safeguarding sensitive health data that attackers are eager to obtain. Even with robust training, professionals can fall victim to sophisticated phishing attempts. Therefore, the first and most critical step in stopping cybercrime is implementing the right technology to prevent phishing emails from reaching users."
