850,000 patients… one weak link. That’s all it took for Clinical Diagnostics to suffer one of the Netherlands’ worst medical data breaches. Names, test results, even BSNs—exposed by the ransomware group Nova. This isn’t just another headline—it’s proof of how fragile healthcare security can be when vendors aren’t protected. At Infisign, we believe identity should be the first line of defense. Passwordless access + Privileged Access Management = keeping patient trust intact. 👉 Read the full story and see how we’re helping organizations stay ahead: https://lnkd.in/gCyu5Vg6

Healthcare breaches are escalating—fast. By mid-2025, hundreds of breach investigations were already underway, putting the industry on pace to surpass last year’s record numbers. Nearly 90% of healthcare organizations have experienced at least one breach. And in many cases, the fallout goes beyond data loss—it leads to lawsuits, operational disruption, and even leadership changes. Hospitals aren’t just managing risk—they’re managing reputational survival. With clinical systems at stake, cybersecurity can no longer sit on the sidelines. https://smpl.is/aa7ti #HealthcareBreach #CyberStats #RiskManagement

🚨 Incident Readiness in Hospitals = Governance 🚨 When a cyberattack hits a hospital, it’s not just IT that goes down. It’s lives put at risk. A ransomware attack can cancel surgeries, delay treatment, and damage trust with patients and regulators. That’s why I believe incident readiness is not an IT problem — it’s a governance responsibility. Boards should be asking: 📌 Do we have a tested incident response plan? 📌 Are clinical leaders included in cyber exercises? 📌 Can we meet mandatory reporting obligations in time? Hospitals are critical infrastructure. Incidents here can cost more than money — they can cost lives. 📄 Download my latest whitepaper: Incident Readiness in Hospitals – Why Cyber Response is a Governance Issue 👉 Question: If ransomware hit tomorrow, would your hospital board know what to do in the first 24 hours? #Healthcare #SOCIAct #CPS234 #IncidentResponse #BoardGovernance

Healthcare is under attack—and stolen credentials are the #1 way in. In 2024 alone, over 70% of healthcare breaches involved compromised passwords. Continuous credential monitoring aligned with NIST and HITRUST can shut down attacks before they start—without disrupting care. https://hubs.ly/Q03CGkK30 #HealthcareCybersecurity #DataBreach #PasswordSecurity
