To mitigate cyber threats, epidemiological organizations should implement robust cybersecurity measures, including:
Encryption: Encrypting data ensures that even if it is intercepted, it cannot be easily read or used. Access Controls: Implement strict access controls to limit who can view or modify sensitive data. Regular Updates: Keep software and systems up-to-date to protect against known vulnerabilities. Employee Training: Train employees on cybersecurity best practices, such as recognizing phishing attempts and using strong passwords. Incident Response Plans: Develop and regularly update incident response plans to quickly address and mitigate the effects of a cyber attack.
