As we enter the twenty-twenties, healthcare has separated from the pack and is, by a wide margin, the most cyber-targeted industry.
The healthcare industry plays host to roughly 70% of all US data breaches.
The more sophisticated the attack, the stronger the apparent preference for targeting healthcare organizations.
Nearly 80% of ransomware attacks target healthcare.
In total, cyber insecurity cost the healthcare industry an estimated $4 billion in 2019; a bank-breaking figure to be sure, but perhaps not surprising when you consider the fact that healthcare organizations hit by hackers spend an average of $1.4 million in recovery costs alone!
