It is common to think of cyber-attacks as isolated incidents—one office, one victim, one mistake—but in reality, practices are connected. The systems they use, the patients they share, the platforms they log into all link them in ways that are not always evident. If your practice is hacked, it could affect your patients, your employees and even other practices. One breach becomes many. That is why cybersecurity is not just a technical problem; it is a collective responsibility. Just like infection control, when everyone follows best practices, they protect not just themselves but each other. The more practices educate, train and support their teams, the stronger they all become. In cybersecurity, no one is an island, and that means that everyone is at risk—but it also means that everyone can be part of the solution.
