Shielding Critical Health Data with Proven Cyber Solutions

Types of Cyber Threats in Healthcare

Healthcare organizations face a variety of cyber threats, each with the potential to cause significant harm. Ransomware attacks, where hackers encrypt data and demand payment for its release, have become increasingly common. In 2022, the healthcare sector reported a 94% increase in ransomware attacks compared to the previous year². Phishing attacks, which deceive employees into revealing sensitive information, are another prevalent threat. Additionally, insider threats, whether malicious or accidental, pose a significant risk to data integrity.
