3 data security tips to ensure patient safety

This week marks Patient Safety Awareness Week in the United States, prompting John Suit, chief technology officer of Baltimore-based Trivalent, to provide key data security tips in Information Security Buzz.

Here are three tips:

1. Make security a part of your company's culture. Conduct ongoing training and security education.

2. Identify your risk. Evaluate where your organization stores viral data and decide on which security to employ to safeguard this information.

3. Monitor mobile devices. Hackers can readily access information on employees' laptops, smart phones and tablets. Make sure employees are always aware of these devices' whereabouts.
