SecurityScorecard gives the healthcare industry a B+ for cybersecurity in 2024

Research by SecurityScorecard reveals the US healthcare sector’s main cybersecurity vulnerability is supply chain cyber risk, despite a ‘B+’ security rating. The study found healthcare outpaced all other sectors for third-party breaches, medical device companies were most at risk, and application security issues were a key flaw. It calls for increased monitoring of supply chain risk to prevent system-wide damage from single points of failure.
