How Data Breach Defender™ Helps Hospitals
Threat actors target hospitals to gain access to sensitive patient data. Data Breach Defender is purpose-built to protect critical hospital systems and those that store PHI and other patient data. Built on technology originally developed for the U.S. Department of Defense, the solution delivers advanced threat analysis and automated containment to stop breaches before they disrupt care. Designed for resource-constrained hospital IT teams, it is quick to deploy and requires no additional staffing to enable hospitals to stay focused on delivering quality patient care while maintaining strong defense against increasing data breach threats.

Engaging Hospital Leadership for Data Breach Defense
Improving organizational engagement is paramount in the face of increasing data breach attacks. This engagement must extend beyond the IT/IS department and involve hospital executive leadership, given the enterprise-wide risk and responsibility. This article will highlight the importance of hospital executive involvement in data breach defense and provide strategies for effective engagement.
Data Breaches: Major Challenges for Healthcare Executives
As challenging as data breaches are today, they are poised to become even more problematic shortly, and we are not just talking about the threats posed by AI. According to an April 2024 survey, data breaches are the top concern of CISOs (Chief Information Security Officers). However, healthcare business executives, audit committees, and boards of directors will face increased challenges and responsibilities regarding data breach defense.
“We’re excited to engage with AHA and its membership to discuss data breach defense as an enterprise-wide risk that necessitates the attention of hospital leadership,”
