Security News > 2023 > August > Rising cyber incidents challenge healthcare organizations

Healthcare organizations are facing many cybersecurity challenges that require them to increasingly prioritize cybersecurity and compliance, according to Claroty.

Like many other critical infrastructure organizations, healthcare delivery organizations are becoming increasingly interconnected as they adapt to the reality of digital transformation.

"The healthcare industry has a lot working against it on the cybersecurity front-a rapidly expanding attack surface, outdated legacy technology, budget constraints and a global cyber talent shortage," said Yaniv Vardi, CEO of Claroty.

"Our research shows that healthcare organizations need the full support of the cyber industry and regulatory bodies to defend medical devices from mounting threats and protect patient safety," Vardi added.

As healthcare organizations undergo digital transformation and technological innovation revolutionizes the industry, regulatory requirements are increasingly complex and frequently evolving.

Keeping up with standards and understanding guidelines can be challenging, but the survey shows that organizations hold these regulations in high regard and value the guidance.
