Discussion
Cybersecurity crimes are on the rise. Discuss recommendations you might make to your director to protect Mercy Vale’s computer systems from unauthorized use by people who might be walking by a computer in the hospital.
Consider the following:
How would you conduct an analysis of security threats and areas of vulnerability?
What strategies would you propose to protect your system from external attacks through a network?
What is the role of a VPN in allowing physicians to access the EHR from home?
How can you maximize protection in this situation? How can audit tools be designed to maximize protection?
