When the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe in 2020, the need for social distancing and isolation impacted the availability of in-person, non-emergency healthcare appointments. As a result, telehealth became a common way for healthcare providers to serve their patients without seeing them in-person, and with its rise came related HIPAA compliance concerns.

These days, with recent ransomware attacks disrupting healthcare providers and affecting millions of Americans, it’s become painfully clear that cybersecurity in this sector is no longer just an IT issue—it’s a patient safety issue, and the stakes are higher than ever.
