Zero Trust Segmentation maintains medical service delivery
Illumio makes healthcare attack-tolerant
Patients are the top priority
The biggest threat to any healthcare provider is not being able to deliver patient services and care. Denying access to the most critical services has proved highly profitable to cybercriminals.
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.
Disruption is prevalent and costly
#1Healthcare executives cite ransomware as the number one cybersecurity threat.
- 328%
Ransomware attacks in healthcare increased by 328% in the first half of 2022.
- $10million
The average cost of a healthcare data breach is $10.1 million, nearly $7 million more than the global average.
Why is healthcare cybersecurity essential?
Maintain the delivery of critical services
Avoid financial and reputational harm
Achieve and maintain compliance
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
Increased connectivity
A growing number of departments, systems, services and devices are connected, potentially exposing high-value services to attack.
Service transformation
Advances like telemedicine and electronic medical records are changing the technology landscape, requiring a rethink on cybersecurity planning.
Targeted cybercrime
Ransomware gangs have identified healthcare as a profitable target and are developing new ways to exploit their vulnerabilities and wreck havoc.
