Top 7 Cybersecurity Vulnerabilities for Healthcare Organizations

Protected health information (PHI) given to healthcare professionals is more valuable to cybercriminals than credit card information. Why? because a wealth of private information can be found in medical records. Attacks on the healthcare industry are in high demand since the data can be readily monetized through extortion, fraudulent billing, filing false tax returns for rebates, and buying prescription drugs and medical equipment.  

According to a recent Canalys report, firms will continue to be under pressure to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses, increase their detection capabilities, and enhance incident response due to the changing threat landscape. In 2023, it is anticipated that the provision of cybersecurity services—including consulting, outsourcing, and managed services—will increase by 14.1% to $144.3 billion. By securing all points, MSPs and MSSPs can improve a healthcare organization's cyber posture.
