What healthcare providers should do after a data breach

Healthcare data breaches are increasing, with the value of personal health data making the sector a prime target for cybercriminals. The number of exposed records doubled to 42 million from July 2021 to June 2022. The legacy systems still used in healthcare are particularly vulnerable, making the sensitive patient data an attractive ransomware target. Post-breach, healthcare organizations should establish an incident response plan and conduct annual security risk assessments.
