Cybersecurity for Dental Practices

Why dental practices need security measures

Small businesses are experiencing a surge of cyberattacks.

Small and medium sized business (SMB’s) continue to be at a high risk for cyberattacks. The industries most at risk for cyberattacks include healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. Healthcare organizations were especially vulnerable due to the sensitivity of patient data and critical systems.

Why?

Though cyberattacks are both frequent and inevitable, you can reduce risk to your practice by implementing even a few key cybersecurity controls.
