While the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) has temporarily relaxed regulations surrounding the administration of telehealth services, the expedited transition to has created a host of security issues that malicious actors have been quick to capitalize on. A video conferencing platform creates an extra possible entry point for cybercriminals to get inside of your network and move laterally; stealing your patients’ private data or encrypting important files and demanding ransom payments to get the files back. There was recently a very well-known network of Hospitals in NJ that had to pay an undisclosed amount of money to hackers who encrypted their data.
While telehealth obviously is a net benefit to society it is of critical importance that this is implemented properly. Security Audits and Penetration Testing are certainly options, but they can be time consuming and resource-intensive.
