HEAL Security Annual Checkup 2024

February 12, 2025

Key trends included AI-driven threat detection, IoT security concerns, and emerging risks from quantum computing. Major breaches, such as those affecting Change Healthcare and Ascension Health, exposed the critical vulnerabilities in the healthcare sector.
