Healthcare - Industry Brief

Healthcare Industry Under Attack

Security leaders in the healthcare industry face significant challenges as threat actors target valuable data and critical systems, where any disruption impacts medical services and the complex nature of business operations. 

While the average cost of a healthcare data breach reached $10.93 million, threat actors know that healthcare providers will pay millions more in ransom payments to recover or maintain critical services.
