How has the cyber landscape of the healthcare sector evolved in recent years ?
Cyberattacks have been steadily increasing over the last few years . In 2024 alone , there have already been almost 8 million cyberattacks on UK businesses . The healthcare sector has been hit especially hard , with each successful breach costing on average almost US $ 11 million , nearly double the cost of the average for the financial services industry .
One of the main challenges that healthcare providers face today is the lack of available budget , as well as limited resources and skills , to counter the incessant threat from bad actors .
