The French data protection authority fined a private hospital €500,000 after hackers accessed personal and health data of over 500,000 patients due to lack of VPN, MFA, and inadequate monitoring. The hospital improved security measures during enforcement but failed to notify all affected individuals.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Health.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your healthcare company must lock down external access with VPN and multi-factor authentication now or face heavy fines. Regulators are closing loopholes fast and will penalise any basic security gaps.
