Cloud-based file sharing enhances collaboration, but security is often sacrificed for convenience. Popular platforms like Dropbox, OneDrive, WeTransfer and Google Drive lack strong encryption, control over data location, and protection from file-borne threats. For healthcare providers, this is especially concerning due to the sensitive nature of patient data and the strict compliance requirements of industry regulations.
The Risks of Insecure File Sharing
A 2024 study revealed major security flaws in mainstream cloud providers, including:
Weak encryption that fails to meet enterprise standards.
Lack of data sovereignty, raising compliance concerns.
File-sharing phishing attacks, up 350% according to the Cloud Security Alliance.
Why Secure File Sharing Matters in Healthcare?
Patient data is invaluable and must be protected from breaches that could lead to financial loss, reputational harm, and regulatory violations. Think of it as the crown jewels of your organisation, containing sensitive information about your operations, patients, finances, research and intellectual property. A secure platform is essential to ensure compliance and operational integrity.
