How can you reduce cyber risk for your pharmacy?
Over the past two months we have responded to at least 20 confirmed pharmacy cyber incidents involving phishing emails and rogue remote access software.
Pharmacy staff awareness, strong security controls and proactive monitoring of your network work together to provide the strongest protection against modern cyber threats.
Follow our comprehensive checklist to help reduce cyber risk within your pharmacy.
