software designed to block access to a
computer system until a sum of money
is paid. Malware is software specifically
designed to disrupt, damage or gain
unauthorized access to a computer system.)
Hackers are also breaking into your
network through vulnerabilities ("unlocked
doors and windows"). They can gain access
to your data through any type of device with
an IP address-not just workstations and
laptops, but also servers, printers, digital
picture frames in your office, VoIP phone
systems, smart TVs and security cameras.
Do your due diligence
Even worse, sometimes they might
hack your IT vendor: Remember that IT
companies are not cybersecurity companies.
You need the knowledge and expertise of a
specialist in cybersecurity to help ensure the
security of your network. Cybercriminals
can scan your network for vulnerabilities
in a matter of minutes, then identify and
exploit these vulnerabilities in order to gain
access. This approach in an orthodontic
office is much more common than you
may imagine.
The FBI and Department of Homeland
Security posted a bulletin in the fall of 2018,
warning IT vendors that Advanced Persistent
Threat actors (APTs) are targeting IT firms
to exploit their information to attack its
client base. Because IT vendors typically
store their clients' IP addresses, usernames
and passwords in their databases, a breach
could give cybercriminals the "keys to
your castle."
Make sure to take defensive measures
to help protect your network and critical
patient data. It's important to work with a
qualified cybersecurity company that can:
1. Perform an audit of your existing
policies and procedures.
2. Provide you with quarterly
vulnerability scans of your network.
3. Conduct live employee training to
educate your staff on the latest threats
and learn how to prevent them.
4. Have penetration testing conducted
on your network.
It is important to be proactive now to
reduce the odds of being the next victim of
a cyberattack. n
