A Prescription for Disaster: Cyberwarfare’s Threat to Healthcare

The healthcare sector is a prime target for cyberwarfare, and along with undermining data security, these attacks are causing a loss of public trust. In the UK, the healthcare industry faces issues such as understaffing, under-resourcing, and reliance on outdated technology. To combat this threat, it is suggested that organisations take a proactive approach to cybersecurity by enhancing visibility of potential threats, creating a robust cybersecurity posture, managing data more effectively, and using government resources for guidance. Neglecting these changes could jeopardize the sector and the nation.
