Healthcare facilities were some of the most vulnerable cybersecurity targets in 2020.

Even before the pandemic tested the healthcare systems around the globe to their limits, a 2019 report predicted that the ransomware attacks would grow four-fold between 2017 and 2020, and the industry will most likely pay $65 billion on cybersecurity between 2017 and 2021.

Cybersecurity might not be the top priority when these devices are being designed (even if they are network connected), so their firmware level protection is usually rudimentary.

And with several different device vendors and firmware updates, there are a lot of entryways for hackers.Even if a healthcare facility has a fantastic cybersecurity team/system in place, the workers and doctors are rarely trained to adopt good cybersecurity habits.

Medical training and specialized courses (from nurses to heads of departments, because they all have access to precious medical data) are usually prioritized over security training, so the access of medical personnel often becomes a weak link.There is a severe shortage of cybersecurity professionals with healthcare-relevant training and expertise.

According to a 2020 report, it takes 70% more time to find the right cyber security professional for a healthcare facility than to find someone for other IT jobs.COVID triggered an expedited conversion to the cloud and remote work, especially in the healthcare system.

It causes companies significant losses in terms of time and money.

They help businesses prevent the threat of data and network breaches, and they can focus more on the operational aspects.

All the leading companies and economies of the world are investing heavily in the database and network security.

Despite the undeniable importance of security solutions, you cannot choose them blindly.

You should consider many things during selection, and we will discuss them in this blog.

Internal Threat Defense:Most companies focus on countering the external threats and ignore the internal ones.

Global healthcare cyber security market size is expected to reach nearly USD 10,848.87million by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Key factors attributing to the growth of the market include the increasing incidences of cyber attacks for misuse of electronic patient health records (E-PHR), social security records, IP theft, and others.
