Protecting healthcare from cybercrime
Best practices to address evolving cyber security threats


Cyber criminals are after data - the more sensitive, the better - which means that, unfortunately, the healthcare industry is a popular target for hackers.
According to a recent report by the World Economic Forum, there were 4 incidents per week over the last two years, where 60% of these attacks leaked data, resulting in diverted patients, cancelled appointments & delayed surgeries.
This whitepaper shares best practices to mitigate attacks - ransomware being the biggest threat - including a multi-layered approach and advice on how to meet NCSC guidelines.
