Support for Cyberattack Countermeasures in Medical Institutions: "Security Family Doctor" 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 Family Doctor" services. This is a new initiative designed to help hospitals and clinics protect themselves from the threat of cyberattacks.
In recent years, cyberattacks targeting medical institutions in Japan have been on the rise, with reports of serious damage such as the inability to access electronic medical records. However, many medical institutions lack IT personnel with specialized knowledge, making it a challenge to implement adequate countermeasures.
The list published this time compiles service providers capable of providing professional support for the security measures of medical institutions. By utilizing this list, medical institutions can easily find reliable consultants suited to their specific situations.
Through this service, Health ISAC Japan aims to create an environment where medical institutions can use IT technology with peace of mind. It is hoped that the expansion of expert support will help protect patients' personal information and vital medical data.
