Top Five Cyber Security Challenges Faced by the Healthcare Industry
Healthcare organisations face numerous cyber security challenges as they work to secure their data and systems against cyber threats. Some of the top cyber security challenges healthcare organisations face include:
Legacy Systems
Healthcare organisations often rely on outdated workstations and networked medical equipment. These legacy systems frequently have unpatched vulnerabilities, making them easy targets for attackers.
Data Breaches
With the advent of electronic health records, healthcare organisations store vast amounts of sensitive data that must be accessible to patients. Balancing security and accessibility is challenging, making it harder to protect this data from unauthorised access and potential breaches.
Insecure Medical Devices and Equipment
The rise of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) means healthcare organisations depend on an increasing number of networked devices. Like other IoT devices, IoMT systems often have poor security. This creates new weak points that attackers can exploit to access the organisation’s systems and patients’ sensitive data.
Ransomware and Malware
Ransomware attacks are common in healthcare. This is due to the value of their data and the likelihood organisations will pay to restore operations and resume patient treatment.
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)
A DDoS attack aims to deny access to applications or systems by overwhelming them with excessive traffic. Cyber criminals increasingly use DDoS attacks as part of ransom campaigns, sometimes combining them with ransomware or data theft.
