The Security Imperative In The Healthcare Industry: Steps To Defending Telehealth And Patient Portals Against Cyber Attacks

Hackers view telemedicine as an easy target for a couple of reasons. First, you have data in motion between networks and personal devices, coupled with the rapid integration of new technologies with no unified security strategy. In addition, personally identifiable information (PII) and personal health information (PHI) is extremely valuable. As a result, cybercriminals have ramped up their efforts to find victims to steal from or demand ransoms from. Many patient portals have minimal security to make the experience for patients friction-free. Most are secured solely by a password, which means the primary vulnerability is back to the age-old problem of passwords. Passwords continue to be the Achilles' heel for systems and software across industries. If weak or compromised passwords are in use, it's increasingly likely that hackers can launch a successful account takeover (ATO).

U.S. Hispanics: The Overlooked Stepchild Of American Healthcare & Why Startups Are The Answer

U.S. Hispanics are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to the American healthcare system. We’ve all heard stories of less than ideal health outcomes U.S. Hispanics have suffered in the past. As a Mexican-American, I too, know that story better than I wish I did. Up until last year, I spent nearly 6 years visiting my kid brother at the Texas Children’s Hospital who was in and out of Leukemia treatments until his last breath. Maybe it’s because the hospital was in Texas or maybe it’s because Leukemia disproportionately affects Latinx children; but, I realized most (if not all) of my brother’s neighbors were Latinx. Throughout endless conversations with their worried parents, I quickly learned how little these families understood their own children’s prognosis or care instructions. Furthermore, these Latinx families had been lucky enough to be the ones to find themselves at a world class hospital; yet, they all knew many families like themselves that hadn’t had a chance to save their loved ones largely because of a failing, unsustainable, and non-scalable healthcare system.
