Keep it Short There are few things that can ruin a domain name faster than excessive length. In general, a good rule of thumb is that you should only exceed ten characters if you have an excellent reason to do so. Among other reasons, a shorter domain name is just easier to remember. It’s also important to caution against having multiple words — two is fine, but any more has the potential to get confusing quickly. Keep in mind that there are no spaces or punctuation available. If you can’t discern what the domain name says at a quick glance, chances are it’s simply too long. Example: Instead of a cumbersome name like thisismywebsite.com, try going with something simple like mywebsite.com.

Cyberattackers' interest in healthcare organizations continues to increase. In 2018, there were 284 breaches reported on the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) breach portal and 27 so far in 2019. According to InfoSec Institute, "nearly 95 percent of all medical and health care institutions have been victims of some form of cyberattack." Most people think of healthcare and cyber-risk as related to the compromise of sensitive patient data. This is true, and it's also a fact that healthcare data is valued significantly higher than credit card data. Stolen health credentials can go for $10 each, about 10 or 20 times the value of a US credit card number. Protecting this data is critical, and this is at the core of the long-standing Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations, including the HIPAA Security Rule. A high percentage of healthcare organizations successfully check the HIPAA compliance box. However, it's unhealthy to confuse being HIPAA compliant with being secure, especially as healthcare cyber threats...
