The Australian Digital Health Agency hosts a number of cyber-security podcasts to help keep you informed and prepare for cyber threats, including the latest “Data recovery tips – do you have a response plan?”. This podcast is essential listening for all healthcare providers who want to ensure they and their business can easily get back on track if their practice is compromised by a ransomware attack. It also includes a great example of how My Health Record can be particularly useful for specialists who have uploaded copies of their letters prior to a cyber-attack.
