Healthcare Security Solutions

When Patient Care Trumps Security

Your healthcare team's dedication to patient care creates an ideal environment for social engineering. Clinical staff prioritize patient needs over security protocols, create security shortcuts under pressure, and readily share credentials to expedite care – exactly what attackers are counting on.

At RCS Security, we understand the specific challenges that healthcare organizations face when it comes to cybersecurity and social engineering attacks.

• Patient care prioritization: Clinical staff often prioritize care delivery over security protocols, creating exploitable gaps
• High-pressure environment: Emergency situations and time constraints lead to security shortcuts and decreased vigilance
• Credential sharing: Staff frequently share credentials to expedite care, compromising access controls
• Limited security training: Competing priorities reduce time for comprehensive security education
