A ‘Crisis’ in Healthcare Security

Recently Professor Avi Rubin was invited to speak at Enigma — a new security conference geared towards those working in both industry and research, recently launched by the USENIX Association.

According to Professor Rubin, health care information security is in crisis. In this presentation, Professor Rubin emphasizes the numerous vulnerabilities of our health care system. These vulnerabilities range from overt circumventing of security protocols to blissful ignorance of network security concerns.

Professor Rubin goes on to identify what makes cybersecurity in health care different from other fields, such as financial services. Finally, Professor Rubin offers a ‘Top Ten’ list of actions the health care community can take right now to improve the cybersecurity of health care.
