Cybersecurity as a Core Pillar of Modern Hospital Operations

Cybersecurity has become mission-critical for hospitals as cybercriminals increasingly target electronic medical records, oncology data, diagnostic platforms and connected medical devices. According to Surjeet Thakur of TrioTree Technologies, advanced protection strategies such as secure vaulting, clean rooms and isolated recovery environments are now essential. These create protected, air-gapped backups that can be validated before systems are restored, ensuring continuity even during active attacks.

Cloud-based HIS and EHR platforms further strengthen resilience by enabling rapid failover and automated rollbacks, allowing hospitals to restore services within minutes. This is particularly valuable for Tier-2 and Tier-3 hospitals with limited on-site IT infrastructure.

Modern identity frameworks like zero trust and multi-factor authentication reduce dependence on vulnerable legacy systems, while concepts such as Minimum Viable Healthcare Systems help maintain critical clinical workflows during disruptions. With a security-first roadmap, digital transformation can safely expand access, efficiency and patient outcomes across India’s healthcare ecosystem.
