Cyber Pulse Report May 2025

June 10, 2025

Healthcare is making gains in cybersecurity, but the threat landscape continues to evolve — and intensify. From rising software investments to AI-fueled risks and unpatched medical devices, healthcare systems are being tested like never before. In this issue, we explore how cybersecurity priorities are shifting in 2025, what leaders like Phil Englert and Murad Dikeidek say about closing key gaps, and why the role of the CISO is no longer just technical — but strategic. Data breaches tied to vendors, misconfigurations, and aging tech underscore the urgency of smarter identity management, rapid patching, and workforce-wide awareness. While progress is evident, the stakes have never been higher.

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.
