The life of the CISO isn’t going to get any easier in 2024, as organisations across all sectors contend with rapidly evolving extortion techniques such as phishing, ransomware, and supply chain attacks to invade internal networks. e2e-assure’s recent study* shows there is a genuine cause for concern for the Healthcare industry, with 77% of Healthcare organisations reporting they’ve experienced a cyber attack.
Despite this huge threat, 31% believe their provider or in-house team is underperforming and are therefore looking to make changes.
Given its access to sensitive information, the industry will always be highly susceptible to cyber attacks. A strong relationship with providers is integral to cyber resilience, especially for fast-moving Healthcare organisations that are often faced with the challenge of legacy systems. The rise of the Internet of Things hasn’t helped, providing attackers with new portals to personal medical information in real-time.
When an incident occurs, collaborating with providers can enhance an organisation’s response capabilities, offering rapid assistance and plugging gaps that could be missed by an in-house team working alone. This is particularly important to an industry that is time poor and understaffed.
So why are almost a third of Healthcare organisations looking to make a change?
At e2e-assure, we have been working with Healthcare firms to shore up their cyber defences for the past ten years and are repeatedly called upon to help in the aftermath of an attack. But we need to consider the provider’s role before the incident, to prevent it completely. Particularly those that are dealing with new forms of technology, and don’t have the time or capacity to keep up with ever-evolving threats.
So, how are providers failing Healthcare organisations? And what questions should the industry be asking their cyber security providers, to drive better resilience for a sector that is forever vulnerable?
