HEAL SECURITY CYBER PULSE REPORT: FEBRUARY 2026

March 12, 2026

In February 2026, healthcare cybersecurity faced growing threats from large-scale breaches, ransomware, and actively exploited vulnerabilities. Major incidents – including Conduent, ApolloMD, Vikor Scientific, and TriZetto – exposed millions of patient records, often via third-party vendors. Critical flaws in Dell RecoverPoint, BeyondTrust remote access tools, and SmarterMail highlight ongoing exploitation risks. Regulatory developments, including CISA’s cyber incident reporting rule under CIRCIA and OCR’s expanded enforcement of 42 CFR Part 2, reinforce the need for rapid patching, proactive threat detection, and robust vendor and incident response management across healthcare organizations.

HEAL Security Annual Checkup 2025

February 4, 2026

In 2025, healthcare cybersecurity was defined by systemic, high-impact threats. Federal breach data understated reality; including state reports, over 175 million individuals were affected, showing that large-scale data compromise is now routine. Vulnerabilities surged, with 48,000+ CVEs disclosed, while attackers shifted to data theft, AI-driven phishing, and blended nation-state and criminal tactics. Healthcare remained a prime target, with third-party and identity-based attacks driving the most damaging incidents. Cybersecurity has firmly become a business resilience and governance priority, with growing regulatory pressure, insurance demands, and board-level oversight.
