DMARC for Healthcare

How are you keeping email secure to protect patient information and maintain HIPAA compliance?

Phishing is the number one attack method for cyber criminals to infiltrate the networks of healthcare organizations to steal medical data, personal identifiable information and deploy ransomware.

The healthcare sector is massive and complex, holding valuable, actionable data for cybercriminals. It is constantly under attack and is the most expensive industry for data breach cleanup costs. In 2021 the average cost increased by $2 million, landing at $9.42 million per incident according to IBM.

Phishing and Spearphishing are among the top attack vectors for healthcare organizations, which can lead to patient care impact, financial fraud, or protected health information (PHI) breaches and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) fines. Fraudulent emails are easy to design and cheap to send, which gives threat actors incentive to use repeated email attacks. Fortunately, healthcare providers can defend their email systems so staff aren’t the sole barrier between adversaries and their goal. DMARC provides an automated approach to reducing fraudulent email, before it ever reaches an employee’s inbox. In addition, DMARC helps prevent adversaries sending email to your organization or others purportedly from your staff.

As phishing continues to be the top attack method for cyber criminals to infiltrate the networks of healthcare organizations to steal medical data, personal identifiable information and deploy ransomware, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has published a DMARC fact sheet relative to healthcare organizations.
