Senior Advisor for Netswitch Technologies Featured in New Video on Solutions to Cyber Attacks on Nation's Healthcare Industry Netswitch Technology, Kim Green Health Care Data Security – 2015 : Status Report Salinas, CA, October 22, 2015 - Kim Green, Senior Healthcare Policy Advisor for Netswitch Technol ogies, is featured in a new video, “Healthcare Data Security Report,” which discusses the need for stronger and more reliable data security in the medical field. Green, who is also the Chief Security & Privacy Officer for Zephyr Health, Inc. and has 25 years experience in information technology, data and product security, in the video identifies many of the dangers and problems of security breaches and theft in the healthcare industry and solutions to those attacks. The 5-minute video was produced by Mag One Productions for Netswitch Technologies, which is headquartered in South San Francisco, with offices in Chicago, Thailand, Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai. In the last 10 years, hospitals and health systems have increasingly moved toward electronic medical records and digital technology as a way to gather, store and share patient information. Most of these systems, however, were built with security as an afterthought and are substantially ill-equipped to support the stress brought on by cyber attackers, hackers and threats designed to exploit specific vulnerabilities unique to these healthcare systems. The healthcare industry is more than 200 percent more likely to encounter data theft and experiences over 300% more security incidents and attacks than the average industry. Medical records are now worth more than $50 each on the dark web, or 50 times the value of a credit card. The average profit per record is $20,000 — compared to just $2,000 for regular identity theft. Yet healthcare organizations are spending just 3% of their IT budget on security when they should be spending at least 10 percent. Saving lives and improving patient outcomes are key drivers in healthcare and since these goals are now closely tied to a dependence on privacy and security, healthcare professionals at all levels are newly aware of the need for reliable and accurate data. Today’s healthcare IT and operational administrators must address these issues to assure that information systems and patient information is protected in the best and most reliable manner possible.
