Security expert says My Health Record a disaster waiting to happen

A provider of cyber security services to the government has spoken out about the weaknesses that dog the Federal Government’s My Health Record system, claiming it cannot guarantee the privacy of sensitive Australian information.

Secure Logic chief executive Santosh Devaraj told iTWire there were serious concerns about the security and privacy principles which the My Health Record platform relied upon, as hundreds of thousands of medical practitioners would have access to the data.
