Safeguarding Trial Data Privacy In Remote Environments

Data breaches have, unfortunately, become a common reality for many industries, as hackers have gotten more sophisticated and aggressive in their tactics for gaining unauthorized access. The healthcare and health science industries, as a whole, remain the most highly targeted largely due to the high value of protected personal health information (PHI) and drug research information. According to IBM’s 2022 Cost of a Data Breach Report, there were 714 healthcare data breaches of 500 or more records reported in 2021, and for the twelfth year in a row, the healthcare industry had the highest average data breach cost of any industry.
