The healthcare industry is still unprepared for a major cyberattack, despite the devastating WannaCry and Petya attacks that occurred a year ago. The attacks were seen as poorly executed test attacks, but still managed to cause significant damage. While the industry has increased cybersecurity investments and is making strides to improve vulnerabilities, there is still much more work to be done. Healthcare organizations need to focus on incident response and recovery to ensure they are prepared for future attacks. Additionally, new threats such as cryptocurrency mining malware and cryptojacking are on the rise, posing further challenges for the industry.
