Cyberattacks are a major threat to the healthcare sector
Weak cybersecurity measures expose companies to serious risks. Victim companies suffer operationally, as systems are rendered unusable; reputationally, as customers lose trust; and legally, as ever-stricter regulators seek to punish them. The healthcare industry is particularly vulnerable because it uses highly sensitive data. Cybersecurity is crucial for pharma, medical devices, and healthcare systems to protect confidential patient data and intellectual property (IP) from cyber threats, ensuring patients' privacy and protecting valuable R&D.Additionally, cybersecurity measures help to ensure operational integrity and regulatory compliance, preventing costly breaches and potential legal liabilities. Cybersecurity breaches in the healthcare sector can cost more than in almost any other industry. In some cases, cyberattacks in the healthcare setting can have extremely severe consequences, including harm to patients’ health or loss of life.
