Report Says Healthcare Websites Among the Most Secure
A new report shows that even in industries that are heavily regulated like healthcare, 14 percent of sites had a serious vulnerability throughout the year.
The report, by WhiteHat Security, a provider of website risk management solutions, found the average website falls into the "always" and "frequently" vulnerable categories – meaning they were exposed more than 270 days of the year. When looking at "window of exposure" across industries, researchers said it becomes apparent there's a vast difference in the approach to website security.
