Orthodontic software security should be a priority for every practice. Human error (like clicking a bad link) and insider threats lead to 80% of all data breaches. The remaining breaches occur from sophisticated cyberattacks.
No electronic health record system can entirely prevent mistakes or malicious actions. That's why a robust, secure, and reliable management system crucial.
Here’s what to know about Tops’ LightningCloud – a powerful cloud-based orthodontic solution – so to help you combat common data breaches.
