The high cost of healthcare insecurity

Technology has done miraculous things for medicine—for both the patients receiving care and the people providing, paying, and innovating for it. But for attackers, the high value of patient data and the high number of attack surfaces turn the entire healthcare field into a gold mine.

That makes the industry a prime target for bad actors. And the consequences for patients and the organizations involved with their care can be incredibly costly.
