Happy Memorial Day! Idenhaus highlighted some healthcare heroes for Nurses’ week in May, and now we want to highlight how thankful we are to all those who have served in the military, no matter how they served. For all those still serving, we thank you as well.
In this edition, we explore why some of the hottest cybercrime is happening in the healthcare sector, and why. What’s so hot about healthcare, aside from all that data, data, data? We also explore the FDA’s new advice on medical device development, and some of the common phishing techniques that (still) work on healthcare providers. All this and more in the Idenhaus Healthcare Cybersecurity Newsletter.
