Cyber Pulse Report July 2025

August 11, 2025

Healthcare’s digital transformation is being hindered by critical gaps in mobile device governance, cybersecurity talent shortages, and escalating cyber threats. Despite the widespread adoption of mobile technology, a lack of formal access controls and management policies has led to inefficiencies, security risks, and lost devices. At the same time, healthcare organizations face mounting cyberattacks while struggling to retain cybersecurity talent, leaving critical systems exposed. New tools from CISA aim to help, but without immediate investment in governance, automation, and workforce support, healthcare’s digital future remains vulnerable.

HEAL Security Annual Checkup 2024

February 12, 2025

In 2024, cybersecurity threats escalated dramatically, with a 38% rise in reported CVEs and data breach costs reaching record highs. Hacking remained the primary attack vector, with network servers being the most targeted systems. 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. Looking ahead to 2025, organizations must brace for increased nation-state attacks, AI-driven cybercrime, and a widening cybersecurity skills gap while strengthening defenses through zero trust models, cybersecurity insurance, and workforce development.

THE BASICS ARE STILL BROKEN: Why Cyber Security Keeps Failing Despite Best Practices

June 12, 2025

This report explores why, despite massive investments in cybersecurity tools, frameworks, and talent, preventable breaches continue to affect organizations across every sector. The root cause isn’t a lack of technology—it’s a failure to consistently execute the fundamentals: patching, configuration, access control, and architectural hygiene. Until these fundamentals are treated as sacred, the cycle of costly, repeat breaches will persist.

THE INTERNET IS BROKEN: Held Together by NAT and HOPE. The IPV4 Crisis. How IPV6 Can Fix it

June 30, 2025

This whitepaper makes the case for an urgent global shift from IPv4 to IPv6, highlighting IPv4’s critical limitations, such as address exhaustion and lack of native security. IPv6 is presented as a necessary infrastructure reform, not just a protocol upgrade. The paper examines technical, economic, and geopolitical drivers, calling for coordinated, cross-sectoral adoption. Continued reliance on IPv4 risks undermining the scalability, security, and future resilience of the global internet.
