Another strategy is to use username and a password, which is beneficial because when login into a hospital’s database it will ask the user for password and username, which is unique to their physical being such as a fingerprint. The benefit of utilizing this dual form of authentication is that it will be very difficult for hackers to get access to hospitals private information. 2FA is a very important technology because it is an extra added security, which protects information and keep hackers away, it also shows when a successful logon has occurred and the user will know whether they were the one who logon or if it was an unauthorized user who got access to their database. 2FA also have a mobile app which sends notifications on the user’s smart phone for every authentication request, the notification will include information such as location of the user who have access your device or database, IP address and

    Anyone with a laptop or tablet could access the network and with only few basic network utilities could access all the servers and all the patient information. Most of these facilities are not implementing any Network Security because of the cost associated with it. “Most healthcare organizations nationwide, some 61 percent to be exact, reported a security related incident in the form of security breach, data loss or unplanned downtime at least once this past year, according to a new health IT report by MeriTalk, a public-private organization working to improve government information technology. These security events cost U.S. hospitals an estimated $1.6 billion each year. Breaking it down by incident, hospitals should expect to hand over on average $810,000 per security breach, which occurs at nearly one in five healthcare organizations nationwide” (healthcareitnews.com). I hope that with this project I can make clear the benefits of securing the network and the steps we need to take to set up and secure the…

    The first thing that I noticed that was wrong in the video was when the two nurses in the elevator started talking about one of their patient's medical condition and the care of him. They mentioned him by name and even said his room number. This is a clear HIPAA violation of the privacy of personal health information. The next incident that I saw was when the two nurses accessed the medical record of a friend of theirs who is a patient. They abused their security privileges in order to log into and obtain private health information in the patient's medical record which is another HIPAA violation. I think this type of violation really concerns most people because it reveals how easily someone can gain unauthorized access to our private medical…
