Health Care Industry

Protect what matters most: your patients, their data, and your ability to deliver care.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly attractive targets for cybercriminals seeking protected health information (PHI). Unlike other industries, healthcare cyber incidents can cause treatment delays, compromise patient care, and put lives at risk.

Why Health Care Is Targeted

The same data that saves lives is exactly what attackers are after.

The industry’s digital transformation — electronic health records, connected medical devices, and telehealth platforms — has created new vulnerabilities that directly impact patient safety.

High-value patient data

Health records are worth up to 10x more than stolen credit card numbers on the dark web.

An expanding digital attack surface

Connected medical devices, electronic health records, and telehealth platforms all create new entry points.

Attacks built to exploit urgency

Phishing targets healthcare workers with urgent patient-related scenarios and authority impersonation.

Getting Started

Four steps to an effective, compliant program.

Grants and government programs are available to help overcome budget hurdles. By starting with the fundamentals — MFA, security awareness training, and password policies — healthcare organizations can build a strong foundation without disrupting patient care.

01

Cyber Hygiene

Establish MFA and the fundamentals that quickly reduce your exposure.

02

Gap Analysis

Assess HIPAA and regulatory requirements against your existing security controls.

03

GRC Mapping

Use a governance, risk, and compliance solution to identify what’s actually in scope.

04

Close the Gaps

Prioritize remediation and adopt a cyber risk management framework built to last.

What’s at Stake

Non-compliance and successful breaches both carry a steep price.
