The global health sector is one of the most targeted industries for cyber attacks, especially as it has an immense amount of personal information in health records, while the criticality of health organizations provides leverage to ransomware attackers. Cyber attacks have major financial implications for the global health sector, and can negatively impact patient quality of care and health outcomes when hackers restrict access to patient data or take essential services offline. A recent global survey showed that the average cost of a data breach in the healthcare industry was close to $6.45 million, meaning that healthcare organizations generally suffer costs from data breaches that are “60% higher than the cross-industry average.”
