A new report from healthcare data security firms Trend Micro and HITRUST examines the supply chain, which the organizations believe is an overlooked part of hospital and clinic operations that hackers can use to establish a foothold in the organization.
“We strongly recommend a blend of security technology and employee/partner awareness and education, including a threat response protocol,” they caution. “Healthcare IT teams must create, enforce and frequently review a risk management system and governance framework related to the transfer of resources to and from any entity outside a network’s trusted circle to minimize the risk of supply chain attacks.”
