The 5 most critical issues in patient data protection

In 2014, the primary cause for compromised protected health information was intentional attacks, rather than accidental lapses on the part of an organization, its technology or its staff.

4. Organizational apathy toward information security.
5. Lack of available tools to prevent or eliminate threats.
