Healthcare Sector

Introduction and Sector Challenges

The Healthcare sector is experiencing rapid digital transformation, driven by the adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR), Telemedicine, AI-driven diagnostics, and IoT-enabled medical devices.

These innovations bring enormous benefits in patient care, operational efficiency, and healthcare accessibility. However, they also introduce serious risks such as cybersecurity threats, data breaches, patient safety incidents, and non-compliance with health data protection regulations.

Cyber Threat Statistics

93% of healthcare organizations experienced at least one data breach in the past 3 years (Source: Ponemon Institute).
Ransomware attacks on hospitals increased by 60% between 2022 and 2023 (Source: IBM Security X-Force).

The increasing reliance on digital health systems demands a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity, risk management, and regulatory compliance across both clinical and IT environments.
