Learn moreCybersecurity has always been a challenge for the Healthcare sector and the efforts to tackle these challenges have produced mixed results. Like all industries, they must guard against cyberattacks, but with limited resources. The move towards adopting new technologies whether it is to digitize patient records or increase in the use of telehealth tools has added benefits of making patient data global and readily accessible, making treatment for patients faster and more efficient.
Cybercrime is on the rise. Understanding the size of the risk is important. Here are a few common threats that companies face:
Phishing Attacks
DDoS Attacks
Browser-based attacks
Patients PII Data
Malware & Ransomware
Data Breaches
Cloud threats

RECENT HACKS
The UK's National Health System (NHS) was targeted by WannaCry cyberattack. The hackers managed to infect 16 health centers and 200,000 computers which led to paralyzing 1200 pieces of diagnostic equipment and cancelling 20,000 appointments.
The DDoS attack on the Boston Children's Hospital led to their donations page being shut down and an estimated $300,000 lost in repairs of their systems.
This growing prevalence of technology increases the risk of medjacking, or medical device hijacking, as demonstrated by the security flaw that researchers discovered in General Electric respirators and anaesthesia machines.
