20 FEB 2024 · The healthcare sector is particularly vulnerable to cybersecurity risks, and the stakes for patient care and safety are exceptionally high. Healthcare facilities are attractive targets for cybercriminals due to their size, technological dependence, sensitive data, and vulnerability to disruptions. Cyber incidents affecting hospitals and health systems have led to extended care disruptions caused by multi-week outages, patient diversion to other facilities, and strain on acute care provisioning and capacity, causing canceled medical appointments, non-rendered services, and delayed medical procedures (particularly elective procedures). More importantly, they put patients' safety at risk and impact local and surrounding communities that depend on the availability of the local emergency department, radiology unit, or cancer center for life-saving care.
