Cyber attacks on the healthcare industry

Cyber attacks on the healthcare industry are on the rise, constantly threatening day-to-day operations, compromising confidential patient and employee data. The potential disruption caused by overlooking the appropriate level of cyber security does not bear thinking about.

Confidential data is worth big bucks to hackers, while medical devices are seen as an easy entry point for attack, with some even being ‘taken over’ by cyber criminals thus preventing vital treatments from being delivered. Other risks include whether staff have been trained appropriately to detect potential threats and deal with them in the correct manner – this can be low priority for some providers simply due to a lack of time, money and resources.
