By now, we’re all aware that cyber criminals are actively targeting the dental industry to steal data and money. So,
cyber security should be top-of-mind for you and your practice managers, no matter
what size or how many practices you’re running. But where do you even begin to
start improving your cyber security? One of the smartest, easiest and most cost effective
steps you can take is to move your data and services to the cloud.
Using cloud services and backups essentially means that your data is safely
stored and backed up at secure, off-site data centers, with multiple copies, so it’s
always safe and accessible. By leveraging a cloud service (e.g., a cloud phone system
or cloud-based practice management) or cloud back-up, you put experts in charge of
your data and the cyber security. The cyber world is constantly evolving and
consistently requires patching, upgrading, and maintenance to ensure security is
maintained. Using cloud services and backups means those things are handled for
you. Just like an IT professional wouldn’t try to perform a root canal, dentists
shouldn’t expect to be experts at managed IT and security.
