The American Medical Association (AMA) offers valuable resources to help physicians safeguard their practices against cybersecurity threats such as viruses, malware, and hackers. With increasing risks to patient health records and other sensitive data, the AMA stresses the importance of protecting these digital assets. They recommend that physicians adopt strong cybersecurity practices, including secure access protocols, encryption, and regular system updates. Additionally, the AMA advocates for ongoing education on cybersecurity best practices and provides guidance on ensuring compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and other regulations to defend against cyberattacks.
