New study shows exploitable attack surface within cloud services and remote healthcare
Vectra® AI, provider of network threat detection and response (NDR), released its2020 Spotlight Report on Healthcare, which shows an upward trend in exploitable behaviors and discredits claims that external threats would lead to increased internal threat activity. The latest Spotlight Report on Healthcare is based on observations and data from January-May of this year using a sample of 363 opt-in enterprise organizations in healthcare and eight other industries.
The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked the global adoption of cloud services across all industries, says the report. However, research shows healthcare has suffered the most sudden and rapid pivot to support overwhelmed infrastructure and increased collaboration using the same strapped IT and security resources.
