Customer Problem / Business Objective
Healthcare organizations have long been a target of cyber crimes. The need to protect confidential records and information from unauthorized access and potential attacks from both insider threats or malicious outside activity is vital. Securing at-risk systems within the facility requires cybersecurity solutions for organizations struggling to protect their networks.
Hospitals and other healthcare organizations have a variety of information technology needs, which can be increasingly hard to manage to deter cyber attacks. This includes more connected medical devices and legacy systems that are vulnerable to threats. Smart devices within its buildings, like smart heating and HVAC, are also targets. A healthcare organization must also protect its email system, which is a top threat for infecting systems with malware.
In 2021, healthcare data breaches affected 45 million people hitting an all-time high. A HIPAA report shows there has been an upward trend in data breaches over the past 10 years with the most data breaches last year. For example, Florida’s Broward Health was hit by a cyber attack potentially exposing 1.3 million patients and staff when an intruder gained access to the hospital’s network and patient data through a third-party medical provider permitted to access the system to provide healthcare services.
