INE Security highlights the alarming rise in cyberattacks on healthcare institutions, revealing that 2023 saw a record 725 hacking-related breaches exposing over 124 million patient records. These breaches are estimated to cost the healthcare sector around $10.93 million per incident. With nearly a third of healthcare employees lacking cybersecurity training, experts advocate for continuous education to foster a culture of security awareness, emphasizing the role of every staff member in safeguarding patient data and trust.
"Every member of a healthcare team - from physicians to IT personnel - plays a role in cybersecurity," said Dara Warn, CEO of INE Security.
"Continuous training ensures that protecting patient data and systems becomes as second nature as protecting patients' physical health."
