Only 39% of healthcare workers check security protocols before trying a new tool or technology, as almost a quarter think that generative AI is safe to use at work<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new Salesforce survey of over 400 healthcare workers reveals that while the majority (76%) agree that keeping data safe is their responsibility, it appears they are not consistently implementing cybersecurity best practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthcare workers are responsible for patient care, and that includes their data. While organizations recognize the importance of a security-first culture, the reality on the ground shows that existing trainings and tools could be improved:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
