The Infoblox Cybersecurity Insight Report: Healthcare Sector presents latest research into the cyber-security and network infrastructure challenges faced by decision-makers in the global healthcare industries. Published one year into the COVID-19 pandemic, it is based on responses from some 800 healthcare IT decision-makers in North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific regions.
Infoblox’s Cybersecurity Insight Report: Healthcare Sector’s headline findings in regard to cyber risk include:
The transition to work from home and the variety of related issues, such as re-education of employees, increasing IT budgets and monitoring/mitigating risky end-user behaviors, have proved key pain-points for the healthcare industry worldwide.
With employees compelled to work from home, healthcare security-, compliance- and risk executives were in turn required to identify ways to handle and process Protected Health Information (PHI) that was moved off the protected networks within hospitals, clinics, medical centers and associated offices.
Attacks on cloud vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, IoT attacks and data manipulation are the most expected cyber-threats the industry faces into 2022, each cited by some 20% of respondents.
Data breaches and network outages are a growing cost: 43% of respondents to this survey estimated the costs of data breaches would exceed $2m (€1,676,675 approx.) and 34% said the same for network outages.
The survey also found that financial losses from network outages tend to be only marginally lower than those from data breaches, which demonstrates that losses from normal business interruptions can be as damaging as those from hacks.
