Healthcare cybersecurity is in a rut, and hackers keep swinging

The number of breached patient records has decreased from 100 million in 2015 to 5 million in 2017, but the number of organizations reporting a breach has increased by 10%.

Healthcare organizations are still struggling due to insufficient security budgets and lack of cybersecurity leaders.
