How to Tackle the Influx of Telehealth Cybersecurity Threats Amid the Pandemic

It’s imperative that healthcare organizations take precautionary measures to ensure a secure, user-friendly telehealth environment for staff and patients. By turning to external security researchers via a bug bounty or VDP, healthcare organizations can have vulnerabilities proactively disclosed before adversaries discover them and take malevolent action.

The use of new telehealth technology has diversified the type of data within healthcare organizations and increased the complexity of security measures required to protect those data.

By adopting a crowdsourced security approach, healthcare organizations can take advantage of project-based or ongoing programs to gain valuable, more accurate insight into what real attackers are targeting within telehealth technology and make adjustments to their security measures as a result.
