What are the most common and dangerous cyber threats facing the healthcare sector in 2024?
Cyber threats haven't necessarily changed, but they've become more frequent in healthcare.
Many attacks against healthcare organizations come from outside the U.S., and the sophistication of these cyberattacks allows deeper access to systems or data within a system.
While there's not much one can do about being targeted, healthcare organizations can certainly take steps to strengthen their network's cyber resilience as well as educate employees on how to be vigilant in detecting potential risks.
Secondly, with so many potential access points to data across the healthcare ecosystem - through a healthcare organization, employees, connected medical devices, or even patients - healthcare systems are particularly vulnerable to these attacks.
