NEW TRUSTWAVE RESEARCH FINDS PATIENT LIVES AT RISK IN HEALTHCARE WITH CYBERSECURITY VULNERABILITIES
Trustwave, a leading cybersecurity and managed security services provider, has released a series of reports detailing the threats facing the healthcare sector. The combination of highly-sensitive patient data, legacy systems, increasing reliance on telehealth services and more connected devices, healthcare is a prime target for threat actors.
The report from the Trustwave SpiderLabs team takes a deep dive into the healthcare industry landscape as it undergoes a rapid digital transformation, bringing unprecedented advancements in patient care. With this report, the team has produced a comprehensive breakdown of attack stages, providing healthcare organisations with actionable intelligence to strengthen their defensive posture. Building upon a previous Healthcare Threat Intelligence Briefing, which dissected the attack flows specific to this vital sector, the 2025 report delves deeper into the emergent threats confronting healthcare organisations worldwide.
Additionally, Trustwave SpiderLabs has produced two detailed analyses focusing on pressing areas of concern: the rapid rise of ransomware and an examination of common security gaps discovered through a healthcare red team.
“ Healthcare Artificial Intelligence and technology adoption presents a spectrum of risks that few other industries need to navigate,” said Kory Daniels, CISO at Trustwave.
“ The risk is not just incredibly sensitive data privacy, but human life and quality of patient care. It’ s not hard to see how compromised medical equipment like a ventilator or pump could lead to a wrong dose or missed patient alert that results in death. Complex supply chains, lapses in patches and credential management all have consequences too serious for anyone in the healthcare industry to ignore.”
