With 92% of healthcare organizations hit by cyberattacks in the last year, protecting patient data is more than an obligation; it’s a high-stakes battlefield. Yet in this hyper-connected war on cybercrime, tools as unassuming as printers and scanners could be the difference between safety and vulnerability.
Cybersecurity within healthcare is not just a matter of meeting compliance standards—it's about safeguarding patients' well-being. 41% of IT professionals in healthcare feel the pinch of an underfunded cybersecurity strategy, indicating a dangerous gamble in an arena where there's much to lose. Healthcare organizations bear a solemn duty to protect data in concordance with legal and ethical obligations like HIPAA. The consequences of failing to do so can be dire—financial liabilities and tarnished reputations among them.
Surprisingly, an office's friendliest machines can pose threats. An alarming 24% of severe security incidents begin with outdated IT equipment, suggesting that your multifunction printer or scanner might be an inadvertent accomplice in cybercrime if left unchecked.
However, with the right guidance, these same machines can transform into vigilant gatekeepers with secure printing features, strong encryption, and user authentication.
