Security News > 2023 > June > Preparing health systems for cyber risks and insurance coverage

Insurers, just like health systems themselves, need the full context of clinical operations to see the true impact.

Better informed health systems with strong cybersecurity governance will pose a lower risk to insurers, creating greater opportunity for a more sustainable insurance market.

Insurers should educate health systems on the best practices that will increase insurability and align resources to the key requirements in the underwriting process.

If health systems have an increased awareness of their cyber vulnerabilities and risk, they can put better preventative strategies in place, protecting themselves from cyberattacks while also making themselves more insurable.

On average, health systems in the United States face 1,410 attempted breaches per week.

Health systems should equip their people, processes, and technology to prevent breaches from happening in the first place.
