Sophos Cloud Protection for Healthcare Practices

The healthcare industry in Australia is increasingly tempting to cyber attackers, as it carries citizens’ data worth billions of dollars in the form of intellectual property, R&D, and patient and clinical trial information. Sophos Cloud Security addresses the significant cybersecurity challenges emerging from this sector’s dependence on third-party suppliers, IT/OT convergence, hybrid and multi-vendor clouds, and more.

Healthcare providers in Australia are embracing new technologies such as network-connected medical devices, remote patient monitoring, telehealth, and medical applications like image archiving and communication systems (PACS). Simultaneously, healthcare providers in Sydney are outsourcing their operations to IT service providers and adopting growing IT trends, including taking managed cloud services, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), and mobility to enable better patient care and enhance access to patient data. As they do so, cyber attackers are deploying increasingly cultivated invasion techniques to acquire access to sensitive patient and healthcare data, far more helpful on the dark web than any other type of information.

What Is Sophos Cloud Protection?

Sophos’s Cloud Data Security identifies significant cyber threats that help to protect medical practices from downtime and enable them to provide specialized patient care services. Sophos comprises robust endpoint protection capacities that deliver state-of-the-art data security for healthcare providers in Melbourne to ensure best-uninterrupted patient care, secure patient data and run medical operations without disruption, and adhere to increasingly rigid industry regulations of Australia.
