In 2024, the healthcare sector experienced more cyberattacks than any other critical infrastructure industry in the U.S., according to the FBI’s Internet Crime Report. With 238 ransomware incidents and 206 data breaches, healthcare organizations are under siege.
These attacks are not just numbers; they represent real disruptions to patient care and safety. Hospitals and clinics are prime targets due to their reliance on digital systems and the critical nature of their services. When systems are compromised, patient data is at risk, and lives can be endangered.
The rise in cyberattacks is attributed to several factors:
- Increased Attack Sophistication: Cybercriminals are employing advanced techniques, including AI-driven attacks, making it harder for traditional defenses to keep up.
- Vulnerabilities in Medical Devices: Many medical devices are outdated and lack proper security measures, providing easy entry points for attackers.
- Human Error: Phishing attacks remain a significant threat, exploiting human vulnerabilities to gain access to sensitive information.
The consequences are severe. Beyond financial losses, these breaches can lead to operational disruptions, legal repercussions, and a loss of patient trust.
