When rushing to the doctor or hospital for an illness the last thing anyone wants to worry about is their information being stolen!
The recent attacks on the NHS, LivaNova, Panorama Eyecare, and Change Healthcare underscore the severity of the cybersecurity issues within the healthcare sector. This is why cybersecurity company, SonicWall has released a healthcare threat report today - looking at how healthcare organisations are becoming particularly vulnerable to expanding threats.
Key Findings from the SonicWall Report:
Ransomware as the primary threat: 91% of malware-related data breaches in healthcare involve ransomware.
Microsoft Exchange vulnerabilities: An alarming 60% of attacks exploited weaknesses in Microsoft Exchange.
Limited resources and outdated technology: Many healthcare organisations are ill-equipped to defend against cyber threats.
