The Increasing Need for Cybersecurity in the Healthcare Industry

Cyberattacks on the health sector surged in 2022 with 28.5 million records breached due to the industry’s vulnerability from its use of custom apps and numerous third-party partnerships. Factors such as the high value of patient data, insufficient security testing and ever-increasing connected devices make the sector prime targets for cybercriminals. To combat this, health organizations are urged to prioritize security, enforce stronger password policies, use AI-detection tools, and collaborate with third-party threat hunting teams.
