Support for Cyberattack Countermeasures in Medical Institutions: 'Security Primary Care Physician' List Published
Health ISAC Japan, an organization dedicated to improving cybersecurity in the medical field, announced on the 13th that it has published a list of "Security Primary Care Physician" services. This initiative is designed to help medical institutions easily find experts they can consult regarding countermeasures against cyberattacks.
In recent years, cyberattacks and ransomware incidents targeting Japanese medical institutions have been on the rise, making the risk of leaks involving patient personal information and medical data a major social issue. However, the current reality is that many hospitals and clinics lack IT personnel with specialized knowledge.
The newly published list includes registered experts and companies capable of providing consultation on security measures and proposing concrete defensive strategies. By utilizing this list, medical institutions can quickly receive support tailored to their specific circumstances.
Through this service, Health ISAC Japan aims to create an environment where medical institutions across the country can provide care with peace of mind. By connecting experts with medical institutions, the initiative is expected to raise the overall security level of the Japanese medical field.
