How Keep IT Simple and CEO Thomas Aaron Kane Are Using DOJ & FBI Cybersecurity Guidance to Safeguard Healthcare Practices

In today's digital age, healthcare organizations—especially medical and dental practices—face cyber threats that go far beyond HIPAA violations or temporary downtime. The risks are real: from devastating data breaches and ransomware attacks to criminal liability and financial collapse.

That’s why Thomas Aaron Kane, CEO of Keep IT Simple, is taking bold steps to lead the charge in healthcare cybersecurity—aligning with federal cybersecurity strategies from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI to protect healthcare providers where it matters most.


The Healthcare Sector: A Prime Target for Cybercrime

The healthcare industry has become one of the most targeted sectors for cyberattacks. Patient records are highly valuable on the black market, and outdated or poorly managed systems are easy entry points for attackers.

In some cases, healthcare providers have faced lawsuits, lost their businesses, or even been criminally charged after failing to maintain proper cybersecurity measures.

Recognizing these stakes, Keep IT Simple is helping providers strengthen their defenses by turning federal guidance into real-world action.
