“We’ve seen a lot of attacks in the dental industry recently. They have the same tech as other medical professionals but they aren’t as prepared like physicians or hospitals who have been in this situation for a while and are more well protected.”
~Adrian Santangelo
Cyberattacks can be as sudden and unexpected as a heart attack.
Imagine how you would feel closing up the office to drive home. You are completely unaware that while you’re turning the key to lock up for the night, cybercriminals have breached your systems and are actively wreaking havoc on your business.
That’s what happened to thousands of dental practices across the nation last month as Aspen Dental’s offices were attacked. Their scheduling systems, phones, and other business applications were shut down. While at this time we don’t know if the cyber criminals were able to access patient files, if they were, this incident could be the biggest healthcare breach this year – and probably of all time – in dentistry.
