The life sciences and healthcare industries face growing cyber threats targeting patient data, research, and intellectual property. With increasing use of cloud platforms, telemedicine, IoT devices, and AI, sensitive data is widely distributed, complicating security and compliance. Thales recommends a multi-layered defense strategy: discovering and classifying sensitive data, encrypting and tokenizing data at rest and in transit, centralizing key management, and enforcing zero-trust policies with MFA. It also stresses securing IoT devices through cryptographic identities and lifecycle monitoring. These measures help ensure data integrity, privacy, and compliance with regulations like HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA.
