Cybersecurity in Healthcare - Thematic Research
Description
Cybersecurity in Healthcare - Thematic Research
Summary
Cyberattacks are especially dangerous to healthcare
Weak cybersecurity measures expose companies to serious risk. Victim companies suffer operationally, as systems are rendered unusable; reputationally, as customers lose trust; and legally, as ever-stricter regulators seek to punish. The healthcare industry is particularly vulnerable because it uses extremely sensitive data. Pharma companies have proprietary scientific data and intellectual property, medical devices companies develop connected devices, and healthcare companies collect and utilize patient data.
Additionally, operational functions are often literally matters of life and death. Breaches in healthcare and pharma cost more than those in almost any other industry.
After COVID, cyber risk is higher than ever
The rush from in-person care to virtual care and digital monitoring, and from office-based work to remote working, amid the COVID-19 pandemic significantly increased cyber risk. The increased use of technology, especially cloud, increased the potential attack surface, and the high speed of transition required meant many information technology security teams had insufficient time to install adequate security defenses. Healthcare companies, especially hospitals and pharma companies, reported increases in cyberattack attempts and government bodies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued warnings about the increased threat.
