Is your dental practice prepared for a cyber incident? Implementing strong cybersecurity in your dental practice means more than just installing software. It requires a proactive, team-wide approach. There are steps you can take to protect sensitive information and prepare for cyber risks, including: implementing regular staff training to recognize and respond to potential threats, investing in reliable cybersecurity software and data encryption and maintaining secure, up-to-date backups using the 3-2-1 rule (three copies, two different formats, one offsite). TDIC analysts developed this resource to help you identify risks, establish protocols, and reduce your practice’s vulnerability to cyber incidents.
