INE Security has highlighted the alarming rise of cyberattacks on healthcare institutions, coinciding with National Physicians Week 2025. New industry data reveals a record 725 hacking breaches in U.S. healthcare in 2023, exposing over 124 million patient records and resulting in an average breach cost of $10.93 million. Acknowledging human error as a major factor, INE Security insists on mandatory cybersecurity training for all healthcare personnel. This initiative emphasizes cultivating a security culture, ensuring that protecting patient information becomes integral, much like safeguarding physical health.
"Every member of a healthcare team - from physicians to IT personnel - plays a role in cybersecurity. Continuous training ensures that protecting patient data and systems becomes as second nature as protecting patients' physical health."
"In 2023 alone, there were 725 hacking-related breaches reported in U.S. healthcare, exposing over 124 million patient records, the worst year on record."
"Healthcare cybersecurity threats and breaches remain the costliest of any industry with the average data breach in a hospital now costing about $10.93 million per incident."
"Experts note that human error remains a leading cause of breaches in healthcare, yet a significant portion of staff lack adequate cybersecurity awareness."
