Health Data Management Editor-in-Chief Fred Bazzoli writes that data security is one of the top 12 trends for the healthcare industry this year as providers “face increased pressure from hackers and intrusion techniques grow more varied and complex.” So it’s not surprising that “Cybersecurity, Privacy & Security” is one of the main education topics for next month’s 2019 HIMSS […]

Nyotron PARANOID Blocks 100% of Unknown Threats During Rigorous ICSA Labs Testing

Deploying traditional security solutions like antivirus and firewall (whether next gen or not) that only attempt to detect new malware based on the past knowledge (e.g., previous malware samples and techniques) may have been sufficient in the 1990s, but not today.
