Cyberattacks – It’s Not a Case Of ‘If’, But ‘When’!

Healthcare organizations are one of the most commonly targeted by unscrupulous bad actors looking to disrupt services and extort money. According to IBM Security, in their Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023, healthcare also has the highest cost of data breaches by industry. Now, more than ever before, healthcare providers are being subjected, daily, to attempts to penetrate their networks and systems. It’s now generally recognized that it’s not a case of ‘if’ a cyberattack is successful, but ‘when’. But, the risks these attacks bring has far-reaching implications.

What are the cyberattack risks for healthcare organizations?

Patient Risk

The inability to access and manage patient records leads to potential errors in diagnosis and treatment, threatening patient safety.

Operational Risk

The interruption of critical healthcare services and operational processes has a huge impact on the overall functioning of the facility.

Financial Risk

Recovery efforts, system repairs, and potential ransom payments, as well as the loss of revenue due to disrupted services, carry significant cost implications.
