According to the Kroll report, the healthcare industry is still underprepared for the scope of cyber threats it faces. While healthcare organizations tend to self-assess as having "very mature security", they are also one of the most breached sectors, topping the list in 2022 and coming in second in 2023. This discrepancy is due to several factors, including healthcare organizations being a prime target for cybercriminals and the unique complexities of healthcare IT, which make it challenging to protect. The report found that healthcare organizations are 65% less likely to fully outsource their cybersecurity services compared to other sectors, which may contribute to their vulnerability. The report recommends that healthcare organizations take steps to improve their detection and response capabilities, cyber threat intelligence, and offensive security to better defend against the growing cyber threats they face. https://lnkd.in/eAvnEGxa #healthcare #healthcareit #digitalhealth #databreaches #datasecurity #cybersecurity
