Healthcare leaders are constantly trying to combat sophisticated cybersecurity threats in healthcare. Medical devices such as ECG monitors, defibrillators, remote monitoring devices, etc., are vulnerable due to compromised security standards.
The first quarter of 2024 has seen a 28% increase in cyberthreats from the last quarter of 2023 which will lead to an estimated $23.84 trillion cyberloss by 2027. To mitigate cost-inefficient cyber crimes such as malware, phishing, data breaches, etc., adopting modern innovative health tech solutions are crucial. The goal is to protect electronic medical records (EHR) against unauthorized disclosure, fortifying patient confidentiality and operational continuity.
Triyam, being HIPAA-compliant and SOC2-certified, understands that protecting patient privacy is critical to maintaining trust, ensuring ethical healthcare practices. Triyam is dedicated to advancing healthcare data management practices with robust cybersecurity protocols in decommissioning legacy EHR systems and retaining critical patient details in SaaS platform Fovea for complete data life-cycle services.
