Securing the Smile: A CEO’s Call to Action on Cybersecurity in Dentistry – By Thomas Kane, CEO, Fusion One Technologies

In today’s digital age, securing your dental practice means more than locking the front door—it means protecting your data, systems, and patients from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. From ransomware attacks to data breaches, cybercriminals are zeroing in on dental practices, knowing that many are underprepared and overloaded.

Patient records, insurance data, and financial information are highly valuable on the black market, making dental clinics prime targets. Unfortunately, many providers still operate with outdated software, weak password policies, and minimal staff training on cybersecurity risks.

As CEO of Fusion One Technologies, I urge every dental professional to make cybersecurity a top priority. Implement multi-factor authentication, encrypt data, back up systems regularly, and train your teams to recognize threats. Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue—it’s a patient safety issue and a business continuity imperative. Let’s secure the smile—by safeguarding the digital foundation behind it.

Protecting Practices: Why Healthcare IT Needs a Tailored Approach By Thomas Kane, CEO at Fusion One Technologies

IT solutions specifically designed to meet the unique challenges of the healthcare industry. He argues that generic IT support often fails to address critical aspects such as compliance with healthcare regulations, integration with electronic health records (EHRs), and the protection of sensitive patient data.​

Kane highlights that healthcare organizations require IT systems that are not only secure but also optimized for the specific needs of medical and dental practices. This includes ensuring seamless interoperability between various healthcare applications, maintaining high levels of data security to prevent breaches, and providing support for specialized medical software.​

Furthermore, Kane discusses the importance of proactive IT management, which involves regular system updates, continuous monitoring for potential vulnerabilities, and swift response to emerging threats. By implementing a tailored IT approach, healthcare providers can enhance operational efficiency, reduce the risk of data breaches, and ultimately improve patient care outcomes.

Thomas Kane

When I was 35, I climbed Mount Hood in Oregon all by myself in sandals and summited it. On my way back down, the mountain opened and swallowed me. I fell through the glacier into a crevasse 40 feet down. It took me 4 hours to crawl out inch by inch with no harness in complete darkness.

While I was freezing to death, I thought about quitting approximately 10,000 times. (And that’s a lowball estimate.) But despite the extremely cold temperatures, bleak outlook, no cell phone signal, mental and physical fatigue, and Kind Bars overdose, I kept going. I’m that person. Once I say I’ll do something, and or tell you what to expect, it will happen.

Now, I put that perseverance, grit, and die-hard dedication to work each and every day. I don’t have to climb any mountains…but I do have to move them for our customers and team members every day.
