Why healthcare mergers, acquisitions can uncover new cybersecurity risks

Global mergers and acquisitions in the healthcare sector are on the rise, but cybersecurity risks must be taken into consideration. Healthcare organizations handle sensitive data which makes them attractive targets for hackers, and the risk of a breach increases during acquisitions. Due diligence is crucial to evaluate the cybersecurity systems and vulnerabilities of the target organization, as well as to ensure that employees receive proper cybersecurity training. Healthcare organizations should also have adequate insurance coverage in place to protect against breaches.
