The healthcare sector has become a target for both low-level and occasionally highly disruptive cyberattacks. Hospitals, insurers, medical supply chains, and service providers are prime targets for threat actors, with phishing attacks, ransomware, and data breaches on the rise.
This guide outlines common healthcare sector vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing email security, where 90% of attacks originate.
Threats Targeting Healthcare:
1.Email Phishing Attacks.
2.Ransomware and Data Breaches.
3.Weak Email Security.
This approach to strengthen their defenses:
1.Multi-factor authentication (MFA).
2.Robust, protocol-driven email security policies (e.g., DMARC, SPF, DKIM).
3.AI-driven threat detection.
4.Ongoing employee cybersecurity training.
