Did you know health information can be even more attractive to cyber criminals than financial details?

Cybersecurity is critical for healthcare providers to protect sensitive patient data and maintain operational continuity.

Providers must secure systems against breaches which can disrupt care, cause financial damage and destroy public trust.

SWSPHN’s Digital Health team supports general practices, allied health professionals and other primary healthcare providers in enhancing their cybersecurity to protect patient data and meet legal obligations. 

Their assistance focuses on building resilience against threats such as phishing, ransomware and business email compromise.

We also partner with the Australian Digital Health Agency.
