Recent Cybersecurity breach at US health tech giant Change Healthcare The need for strict cyber management in healthcare has been highlighted. The U.S. health care system is still recovering from the Feb. 21 attack that caused chaos over medical billing and payments.
The healthcare industry is one of the most targeted sectors for cybercriminals, with vast amounts of sensitive data and an extensive attack surface.
Data breaches and patient privacy are major concerns. Protecting patient data is paramount in healthcare. For example, Change Healthcare processes billions of healthcare transactions annually, but questions remain about the security of millions of people's highly sensitive healthcare information after a cyberattack.
Ransomware attacks in the healthcare sector are also a major concern in this sector. The hackers behind the Change Healthcare attack, a Russian group known as AlphV or BlackCat, allegedly received $22 million in Bitcoin.
With patient lives at stake, a severe disruption in service levels can mean the difference between life and death for many, which is what makes healthcare organizations so vulnerable to ransomware attacks.
