Abstract

Telemedicine overcomes geographic barriers but interconnectivity amplifies vulnerabilities that malicious actors exploit, compromising operations and eroding patient trust. This necessitates resilient cybersecurity foundations encompassing governance, network segmentation, identity management, multifactor authentication, endpoint hardening, deception tools, access controls, threat monitoring, and cultural change tailored to telemedicine. Technical risk assessments methodically audit assets, workflows and vendors, guiding proportional protections balancing usability. Additional data security best practices like videoconferencing standards, cloud monitoring, intrusion prevention systems using AI, anonymization, encryption, and workforce education through simulated incident drills foster collective vigilance against insider risks. The insights inform healthcare institutions' security roadmaps attuned to their unique risk appetite and maturity while reassuring patients. A resilient blueprint nurtures innovation ecosystems unlocking telemedicine's immense healthcare access potential.
