Dental practices may not think of themselves as technology businesses, but they store the same sensitive patient and payment data that makes healthcare a prime target for cybercriminals. A small office can be hit just as easily as a large clinic.
Modern dental offices run on digital records, imaging systems, and online scheduling and payment tools. Each of those is a doorway an attacker can try, often through a phishing email opened by a busy staff member. Ransomware that locks patient records can halt the practice entirely.
A policy typically covers the cost of investigating and recovering from an attack, notifying patients, and defending any claims that follow. It also usually connects you to a response team, which matters most for a practice without dedicated IT staff.
