Several cybersecurity technologies are essential for protecting digital histological data:
Encryption: This technology ensures that data is encoded in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. Encryption is crucial for protecting digital images and patient records from unauthorized access. Authentication: Strong authentication mechanisms, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), help verify the identity of users accessing histological data. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access. Firewalls: Firewalls act as barriers between trusted internal networks and untrusted external networks. They help prevent unauthorized access to histological systems and data. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS): IDS monitor network traffic for suspicious activities and potential threats. They can alert administrators to potential breaches, allowing for timely responses. Data Backup: Regular data backups ensure that histological data can be restored in case of data loss due to cyberattacks or system failures.
