Hi Klei,
Thank you for your help. Our concerns are patient data breaches, ransomware attacks and lack of security to prevent such attacks. And if there is anything else that you may have seen yourself in the dental field in reference to cyberattacks. What would you recommend to try and prevent such attacks.
Thank you!

Hi Ewelina,

Thank you for your question. To provide a more thorough response, we would like to get a better understanding of the cybersecurity risks that concern you. For example, are you concerned about protecting patient data, technology being down because of a breach, or lack of security controls in place to prevent an attack? We would be more than happy to help you address your cybersecurity concerns in Dentistry.

HI,
I am in an HIM program and was given an assignment on cybersecurity risks in the dental field and some challenges that may be involved. If any of you are able to reach out and provide some information, it would be greatly appreciated.
