Evolving Challenges in Healthcare

The healthcare industry is one of the most vulnerable to ransomware and breaches. According to the US National Center for Biotechnology Information, from 2005 to 2019, 249.09 million people were impacted by healthcare data breaches. In the previous five years, 157.40 million people have been affected.

  • In 2018, a total of 2216 data breaches were disclosed in 65 nations. Of this number, 536 violations were in healthcare only, meaning this was the most affected industry.
  • In 2019, 505 healthcare data breaches resulted in the exposure, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of 41.2 million healthcare information.

Cyberattacks’ increasing frequency and complexity are critical drivers for the healthcare cybersecurity market.
