When someone begins to read an article about cyber risks for healthcare, their first thoughts tend to lean towards ransomware, loss of data, or other technical risks. Make no mistake - those risks are real and increasing in frequency and although I believe there are selective threats of which healthcare companies should be aware, there are other risks that they need to be tracking.
The top three risks I see for healthcare include two areas that are gaining more attention – vendor risk and insurance. Yet, 2023 will bring a new risk that hasn’t appeared for healthcare yet - and in my opinion this is the biggest risk healthcare faces - which is a change in how cyber risk is managed by healthcare companies and the sector in general.
