Cybercrime in the healthcare sector

The healthcare sector’s rapid digitalisation due to the pandemic has increased its vulnerability to cyber attacks. In 2021, the National Cyber Security Centre reported healthcare as the second-largest target for cybercriminals, accounting for 12% of attack detections. British security professionals call for stronger cybersecurity partnerships between the government and organisations. They suggest an intelligent proactive security system, training staff on cybersecurity, integrating security operations, and implementing an adaptable security system to combat cyber threats.
