The healthcare sector is a tantalizing target for cyber attackers, with the sensitive data of millions of patients and the fabric of healthcare delivery hanging in the balance.
Electronic health records (EHRs), medical devices, and patient data are just a few of the critical infrastructure components that are vulnerable to attack.
As cyber threats continue to evolve at a breakneck pace, healthcare organizations must stay one step ahead and take proactive measures to safeguard their systems.
The stakes are high, and the consequences of inaction could be catastrophic. Healthcare organizations must prioritize cybersecurity and proactively protect their patients, their data, and their reputations.
