Healthcare organizations know all too well that the COVID-19 fight isn’t over — not in the clinic, nor in the IT security department.
Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that in 2021, the healthcare industry will suffer two to three times more cyberattacks than the average for other industries. On top of the expanding security threat, multiple sources point to the immense cost of healthcare data breaches.
