Security challenges impacting healthcare

The growing dependence on online technology to support everything from telehealth to patient records, has made the healthcare industry a prime target for cybercrime.

In the U.S. alone, threats against the healthcare sector increased 128%, resulting in 46 hospital systems being impacted by cyberattacks such as phishing, ransomware, and malware.  

Safeguarding confidential medical data and systems while ensuring the quality of patient care requires a comprehensive mitigation strategy. This approach should include training and awareness programs, and most importantly, the adoption of multi-faceted physical and endpoint security solutions.
