Security Assurance in the Expanding Telemedicine Landscape

As with other industries, healthcare continues to thrive thanks to new technologies, including telemedicine.While the benefits of this practice are clear for the healthcare industry, it is also worth noting the cyber risks that telemedicine poses. One concern goes back to how telemedicine itself functions – physical devices, software, and applications working together to connect remote patients and even multiple networks to a healthcare provider.

In order to avoid the cyber risks, healthcare IT teams must not only focus on bandwidth and network performance but also the security implications of having these factors working in conjunction with each other.
