47% of cyber-attacks look to target businesses such as dentistry practices due to a low level of IT security dental practices are thought to have.
Dentists have to be aware of Phishing, Ransomware and Fraud. Cyber criminals use emails to obtain your credit card details, passwords, account numbers and personal details. They may use legitimate payment requests in the form of email or text.
When you think about ransomware attacks quadrupling in the next year, awareness is key.
Securing personal data is not only important for GDPR but also ensuring that your dental practice is run efficiently.
Having good Practice Management Systems, secure booking systems and compliant digital imaging will ensure you are able to offer patients the best services without delays. Any downtime would result in a backlog of appointments and higher risks of dental problems.
Professional reputation matters in retaining clients and attracting more business from competitors. With scheduling being a focus point to the day to day running of your practice it is important to monitor your system. Criminals will attempt to access the system, gaining access to sensitive data.
