With mobile technology quickly becoming a major part of healthcare’s daily operations, healthcare organizations need to be aware of how healthcare BYOD security impacts the network. Although adoption of BYOD has proven to be extremely beneficial for the healthcare industry, it also comes with grave security issues. The frequent usage of unmanaged devices and apps to access protected health information (PHI), cultivates this risk. Moreover, there is a huge security flaw in many BYOD implementations where organizations rely heavily on user-generated passwords. These passwords can be easily stolen as they don’t have the support of multi-factor authentication. Therefore, in seeking to implement a BYOD solution it is important to identify business objectives and benefits as well as taking into account security, audit, and data protection requirements.
