infrastructure. This move enables NMC with digital capabilities to keep hackers at bay and the same time offer convenience to patients and operational efficiency within the organization.

The information accessed through Patient Information System is of great interest to hackers. Blood type, past surgeries and diagnoses, and other personal health information are contained in the patient record, as these records include private data like name, date of birth, insurance, and health provider information, as well as health and genetic information; it is not possible to reverse the loss of privacy or to reverse psychosocial harm when private data are compromised from healthcare providers. Implementing the next-gen cyber security solutions protect health care providers and related stakeholders like employees, patients, affiliates etc from reputational and financial loss.
“Lack of awareness about the latest cyber security risks and security tools can increasingly affect all levels of society. It takes the hackers and criminals just a few strokes on the network to initiate an attack on business and disrupt the environment. Healthcare industry is not immune to such attacks, in fact a target due to the valuable medical records of patients. Our mission is to research and develop cost effective solutions and next gen tools for the industry to keep hacker at the bay” said Ms Nikitha Venkatesh, Cyber Security Expert at Digiport Technologies LLC. Dubai.
