Patients are the top priority
Breaches and ransomware are inevitable as today’s increasingly connected healthcare systems create new attack vectors. Healthcare security teams must focus on improving their resilience to attacks.
Cyber resilience requires an “assume breach” mindset

Cyber resilience is the ability to deliver services continuously and keep critical operations up and running during and after a security breach.
Traditional cybersecurity solutions were designed to protect systems, networks and data from attacks. Adopting a cyber resilience strategy with Zero Trust prevents systems and networks from being derailed when security is compromised.
Cyber resilience helps organizations recognize that attackers can be successful using improved evasion techniques. An “assume breach” mindset drives a more proactive approach to prepare, prevent, respond and recover from cybersecurity incidents.
Challenges to healthcare cyber resilience
