Pediatric practices can take several steps to protect themselves and their patients from phishing attacks:
Employee Training: Regular training sessions to educate staff about the various forms of phishing and how to recognize suspicious communications. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Implementing MFA can add an extra layer of security, making it more difficult for cybercriminals to gain access. Regular Software Updates: Ensuring that all systems and software are up-to-date can help protect against vulnerabilities that attackers might exploit. Secure Communication Channels: Using encrypted communication methods for sharing sensitive information can reduce the risk of data interception. Incident Response Plan: Having a clear plan in place for how to respond to a phishing attack can minimize damage and speed up recovery.
