Preventing data theft in epidemiology requires a multi-faceted approach: - Data encryption: Encrypt sensitive data both at rest and in transit to protect it from unauthorized access. - Access controls: Implement strict access controls to ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive data. - Employee training: Regularly train employees on cybersecurity best practices and how to recognize phishing attempts and other threats. - Regular audits: Conduct regular security audits to identify and address vulnerabilities in the system. - Incident response plan: Develop and maintain an incident response plan to quickly address and mitigate the effects of data breaches.
