Considering that same report found that 1-in-5 Americans say a cyberattack has impacted their healthcare provider in the past year, it’s undoubtedly worrying news for the entire industry. With this in mind, here are three avenues hackers are likely to exploit as healthcare becomes a more attractive target and what providers’ need to do to protect their sensitive data and safeguard the lives of their patients.
The deployment of platforms for cybersecurity skill development results in budgetary reductions and cost savings, as well as improvements in critical security operations center (SOC) KPIs including mean time to remediate (MTTR) and dwell time, according to a report by Cyberbit and TAG Cyber.
