RISING DATA PROTECTION CHALLENGES TO HEALTHCARE IN KENYA

RISING DATA PROTECTION CHALLENGES TO HEALTHCARE IN KENYA

RISING DATA PROTECTION CHALLENGES

These days businesses are being faced with data protection challenges due to threats caused by anything, including ransomware, malware, data breaches, and loss. In a poll conducted in 2021, about half of healthcare IT respondents claimed that phishing was the cause of the biggest security flaws.

Healthcare data is more important than typical corporate data because it powers the systems that keep hospitals and healthcare facilities running, contains potentially life-saving electronic health records, and even resides in the numerous equipment that make healthcare possible. In fact, the healthcare industry had the highest growth in malware assaults on internet-connected devices in the last year, or the “internet of things,” as it’s known.

Ransomware-related Cyber Attacks being a huge contributor to data protection challenges

Ransomware-related Cyber Attacks have increased significantly during the past two years, tripling, or by a staggering 755%. The environment is challenging to manage because of the vulnerabilities in the wide range of technologies used in healthcare settings, including proprietary devices and difficult-to-update older record systems. The global pandemic’s stressors haven’t helped either, making it even more crucial to reduce the dangers of data loss and breach. System administrators and cyber security specialists should remember to “Be prepared” in this situation. The best defense still consists of backups, patching systems, and, of course, consulting specialists when data is at danger.

9 Reasons Digital Fraud Is On The Rise

9 Reasons Digital Fraud Is On The Rise

9 Reasons Digital Fraud Is On The Rise.

What Is Digital Fraud? Digital fraud is when criminals try to use email, websites, malicious software or other methods to learn your personal details or trick you into paying . Digital fraud entails the use of phishing emails, phony websites, bogus mobile apps, fake social media profiles, and other mechanisms to illegally obtain information and defraud consumers and businesses

1: Chaos caused by the global COVID-19 crisis.

Opportunistic hackers are taking advantage of the chaotic, global crisis to commit even more fraudulent activity. There is an extensive monitoring going on done by hackers as people work from home with the lockdown, all their digital payments are being monitored, communications and any other activity, hence digital fraud is becoming more rampant.

2: A changing e-commerce landscape.

Another trend impacting the rise in digital fraud is more retail purchases shifting online.

3: The advent of new marketplace platforms.

From social networks and dating apps to food delivery, alternative transportation, and vacation rentals, digital channels have revolutionized almost every industry. This new platforms are creating stepping stones for trails for digital fraud with baits being set by hackers to lure users with fake pseudo accounts look as if they are genuine.

4: Payments moving online.

In addition to consumers transacting more in online marketplaces, they are also using peer-to-peer payment (P2P) and e-Wallet apps more often. The easiest way a digital fraud takes place is interception of the P2P by hackers to divert the funds.

5:Increasingly digital banking services.

Today’s consumers demand more online and mobile services from their financial institutions. As a result, legacy banks are going digital. This is opening a Pandora box for hackers to take advantage of loopholes for applications that are not secure enough causing digital fraud to take place.

6: New consumer expectations.

Today’s consumers also expect their data to be secure. Yet they will abandon any transaction that takes too long, requires too much data, or is too complex. Whenever a consumer ignores to fully comply to the terms and conditions that help secure a transaction this leads to digital fraud taking place as hackers intercept this  incomplete transactions and change credentials.

7:More sophisticated fraud tactics.

Due to an increasing number of data breaches over recent years, fraudsters can more easily access PII (personally identifiable information) and use it against consumers.

8:Unclear legal jurisdiction of cross-border fraud.

Global commerce gives today’s online retailers and marketplaces an opportunity to reach even more customers.

9:Technological advancements.

Today, digital fraud has also accelerated and grown even more sophisticated due to the rise of e-commerce, mobile payments, and computing power.
