Phishing attacks pose a significant risk to the healthcare sector, with a survey revealing 60% of IT leaders experienced email security breaches in the past year. Alarmingly, 95% of phishing incidents are unreported, preventing investigations and necessary system corrections. This negligence can lead to severe patient care disruptions, as illustrated by a serious breach that shut down systems and delayed treatments. Despite staff training being common, experts emphasize the need for robust safeguards to enhance security, as budget allocations for email security remain disproportionately low at just 11-20%.
The phishing attack compromised user credentials and eventually deployed ransomware across the network. It shut systems down for two weeks.
No amount of training can completely eliminate human error, so businesses must have safeguards in place.
