Support for Cyberattack Countermeasures in Medical Institutions: "Security Family Doctor" List Published
The general incorporated association Health ISAC Japan has published a list of "Security Family Doctor" services that medical institutions can consult for cyberattack countermeasures. While digitalization in medical settings (Medical DX) has been advancing in recent years, cyberattacks targeting hospitals are on the rise, creating an urgent need for countermeasures.
The newly published list compiles companies and services that provide specialized support for the security measures of medical institutions. Previously, many medical institutions faced the challenge of not knowing where to turn for security consultations. By utilizing this list, each hospital can easily find experts that match their specific situation.
When a medical institution is subjected to a cyberattack, it can have serious consequences that affect patient lives, such as the inability to access electronic medical records. Through this service, Health ISAC Japan aims to create an environment where medical institutions can utilize digital technology with peace of mind.
Moving forward, the organization plans to update this list regularly and continue supporting more medical institutions in their efforts to implement security measures. As an initiative to protect the safety of medical settings, it continues to attract significant attention.
