Temple Health

Temple Health faced significant cybersecurity challenges, primarily in managing third-party risks related to breaches affecting suppliers and partners involved in crucial services such as claims processing and EHR systems. Potential impacts included disruptions to patient care services and compromised healthcare data. Proactive strategies, including advanced network micro-segmentation and auditing of backups, have been put in place to mitigate these risks and ensure continuity of care. Despite these measures, the threat of a severe cyber-attack looms, emphasizing the need for robust and strategic cybersecurity practices to protect sensitive patient information and healthcare operations.
