As National Physicians Week highlights the vital role of doctors in patient care, INE Security emphasizes the importance of secure systems that support these healthcare professionals.

The potential consequences of inadequate security practices are significant, as about 66% of patients would consider switching providers if their personal data were compromised.

Healthcare organizations are also encouraged to have their IT staff pursue recognized cybersecurity certifications, including CISSP, CompTIA Security+, eWPTX, and eJPT, to enhance their security capabilities.

Implementing ongoing cybersecurity training should be viewed as a fundamental part of staff education, similar to traditional medical training.

To achieve this, INE Security offers a variety of training programs, including on-demand courses, interactive labs, and instructor-led sessions designed for both general staff and IT professionals.

The urgency for such training is underscored by the record 725 hacking-related breaches in the U.S. healthcare sector in 2023, which exposed over 124 million patient records.

This alarming statistic makes healthcare the costliest industry for data breaches, with an average incident costing approximately $10.93 million.

INE Security is committed to strengthening healthcare systems against cyber threats, highlighting the necessity of cybersecurity training to maintain patient care and trust.

Despite the high stakes, nearly one-third of healthcare employees lack any form of cybersecurity training, contributing to human error, which is a leading cause of these breaches.

INE Security's training programs are designed to equip healthcare professionals with the skills to tackle specific threats like ransomware and to navigate compliance frameworks such as HIPAA.

The training modules provided cover critical areas such as network defense and malware analysis, which are essential for effectively managing and responding to current cyber threats.
