In the field of healthcare, taking care of sensitive data is as important as the care physicians take with the patients themselves. It’s particularly important when attacks on healthcare have been on the rise worldwide.
Healthcare organizations in the U.S., U.K. and Australia all experienced serious data hacks in 2022. In the U.S., the data of 2 million patients was lost to hackers over a three-week period, while in Australia, the results of the hack left 10 million patients with vulnerable data being broadcast in the public sphere. Elsewhere, in the U.K., the National Health Service (NHS) was declared a “cybersecurity disaster” after being hacked multiple times in a row.
