The Critical Need for Robust Cyber Security in Digital Healthcare
The rise of digital healthcare, healthcare IT, and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) has revolutionised patient care, offering unprecedented
opportunities for improved diagnostics, treatment, and remote monitoring. However, this new breed of interconnected care has resulted in a rapidly growing threat landscape, making healthcare organisations prime targets for cyberattacks.
This means that ironclad cyber security systems are now a key aspect of maintaining the highest standard of patient care across the country, ensuring an attack never compromises healthcare professionals’ ability to deliver their best.
Why Healthcare Cyber Security Matters
Breaches of Protected Health Information (PHI) data - Medical records are highly valuable on the black market, fetching hundreds of dollars per record. A single breach can expose millions of patients, leading to identity theft, insurance fraud, and reputational damage.
Disruptions to critical healthcare services - Ransomware attacks and other cyberattacks can cripple healthcare facilities, delaying or even denying critical care to patients, potentially putting lives at risk.
Compliance fines and penalties - HIPAA and other regulations impose hefty fines for data breaches and non-compliance, adding significant financial burdens to healthcare organisations.
The Cost of Inaction is High…
Average cost of a healthcare data breach - $9.23 million (more than double the average across all industries).
Ransomware payments by healthcare organisations - $910,335 on average.
Investing in Healthcare Cyber Security is an Investment in Your Future
Protect your patients - Secure their sensitive data and ensure they always receive the highest standard of uninterrupted care.
Protect your reputation - Avoid costly data breaches and the resulting reputational damage.
Protect your bottom line - Reduce the risk of compliance fines and ransomware payments.
Drive innovation - Securely embrace new technologies and advance both patient care and cutting-edge clinical research.
