WELL Health Technologies Corp. announced that it is Expanding Capabilities as the Need for Data Protection Grows. Canadian healthcare is becoming an increasingly large target for cyber attacks, with 48% of all security breaches in Canada in 2021 directed at healthcare, a 37% increase from 2020.

WELL has seen an increasing number of its customers who are experiencing cyber attacks. While compliant EMR systems generally do a decent job protecting patient data, other software or hardware being used in a clinical environment may not be protected to the same degree. In response, WELL is expanding its Incident Response offering and is actively working with healthcare clinics to implement enterprise-grade cybersecurity solutions through SecureSolutionsNow, a new offering that is assisting healthcare providers across Canada and the USA in protecting personal health information.

Cycura is now also providing customers with both 'hacker' and 'defender' capabilities, giving them the full spectrum of cyber capabilities for customers of all sizes. This offering can also be fully integrated with the rest of WELL's practitioner enablement platforms.
