Why is healthcare cybersecurity so underfunded?

Healthcare cybersecurity is often considered a top priority but lacks proper funding to match this status, according to Deryck Mitchelson, a cybersecurity expert with Check Point Research. Mitchelson discussed how modern healthcare relies on digital and cybersecurity services, yet key medical devices like MRI scanners often lack adequate protection. He emphasized the need for healthcare professionals to convincingly articulate the clinical risks of cyber threats to encourage more investment in healthcare cybersecurity.
