Cyberattacks are increasing globally across the healthcare sector and pose a significant threat to patient safety and hospital operations. The healthcare industry is highly attractive to threat actors due to the valuable patient data and lack of cybersecurity resources. These attacks can have dire financial, legal, or even fatal outcomes. The origin of many attacks often lies in lapses in cybersecurity training among healthcare personnel. It’s critical to enforce comprehensive cybersecurity practices and encourage government support to combat these risks.
