It has been an eventful period in healthcare.
As the latest ransomware attack unfolds, disrupting patient care and crippling pharmacies across the US, we are once again reminded of the vulnerabilities facing our sector and the importance of streamlined environments and strong cybersecurity strategies.
2023 was the worst year yet for breached healthcare records, with a staggering 725 large security breaches reported to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR). And 2024 is set to surpass that.
The target of healthcare is not accidental. Given the complexity of the IT environments, issues like an unpatched server, expired fax machine firmware, vulnerable software and hardware, and disparate third-party tools and apps can be overlooked, becoming backdoors for bad actors to exploit.
Did you know that an average health system has over 2.000 network devices with basic admin credentials that can be found with a Google search?
