SHARE

With the rise of health apps, online lab reports, and digital medical records, the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has released a cybersecurity advisory urging residents to safeguard their health data against potential breaches.

As digital healthcare tools become a vital part of everyday life, protecting sensitive medical information is more important than ever. The DHA’s recommendations aim to empower individuals with best practices for securing their health records.

Key Tips for Protecting Health Data:
Use Strong Passwords: Create unique, complex passwords for health-related accounts and avoid reusing them across different platforms.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enhance security by using a one-time passcode or an authentication app.
Be Cautious of Phishing Scams: Always verify emails or messages that claim to be from healthcare providers before sharing personal information.
Limit App Permissions: Only provide necessary permissions for health apps to reduce data sharing risks.
Avoid Public Wi-Fi: Do not access or share health records over public networks, which can be susceptible to hacking.
Monitor Accounts Regularly: Look for suspicious activity and report any unauthorized access to healthcare providers immediately.
Stay Informed
The DHA stressed the importance of keeping up with the latest cybersecurity measures and practices to combat evolving threats. They also pointed out the dangers of phishing scams, encouraging residents to think carefully before responding to emails or messages that seem to come from healthcare organizations.

“With the rapid growth of digital health services, protecting your data is crucial. Be proactive, stay alert, and ensure your health information stays secure,” the authority advised.

A Growing Concern
As Dubai advances its digital transformation, cybersecurity remains a top priority. The DHA’s alert serves as a timely reminder for residents to exercise caution while navigating the digital health landscape. By following these guidelines, individuals can better protect their health information.
