Support for Cyberattack Countermeasures in Medical Institutions: 'Security Family Doctor' List Published
Health ISAC Japan, an organization specializing in cybersecurity for the medical field, announced a new initiative on the 13th. They have begun publishing a list of "Security Family Doctor" services to help medical institutions respond to issues such as cyberattacks.
In recent years, cyberattacks targeting hospitals and clinics in Japan have been on the rise, leading to serious problems such as the leakage of patient personal information and the suspension of medical care systems. However, the current reality is that many medical institutions lack IT personnel with specialized knowledge.
The list published today compiles companies and experts capable of providing specialized support for the security measures of medical institutions. By utilizing this list, medical institutions can quickly find consultants that match their specific needs.
Through this service, Health ISAC Japan aims to create an environment where medical institutions across the country can use digital technology more safely. Moving forward, the organization plans to update this list regularly to continuously support the improvement of security in medical settings.
