KnowBe4 report exposes cybersecurity crisis in healthcare

The International Healthcare Report by KnowBe4 uncovers the vulnerability of the healthcare sector to cyberattacks, particularly ransomware. In 2023, African organisations faced the highest global average weekly cyberattacks, while the healthcare sector globally witnessed about 1,613 weekly cyberattacks in the first three quarters. Despite South Africa escaping major attacks since 2020, the escalating attack levels in other spheres indicate imminent threat. The report highlights the need for comprehensive security awareness training to guard against attacks.
