The healthcare industry remains the most targeted sector for cyberattacks in the United States. Last year had the dubious distinction of having the most patient records exposed in a year at more than 276 million. It also had the largest healthcare cyberattack on record, when UnitedHealth Group’s Change Healthcare was hacked in February. Though we know that hospitals, vendors, and related organizations are particularly vulnerable to attacks, it’s been difficult to fully secure them.
Christian Dameff, MD, emergency physician and Co-Director of the University of California-San Diego’s Center for Healthcare Cybersecurity, joins host J. Carlisle Larsen to talk more about challenges facing the industry and some common misconceptions about the motivations behind these attacks.
This is a two-part episode. The second half of their conversation will air on Monday, April 7.
