  • The Global Pandemic Has Brought An Increase In External Threats. Still, The Insider Must Not Be Overlooked

    For some time, healthcare records and related data have included a wealth of information about a person – and that data, if not properly secured, can be sold on the Dark Web to enrich malicious adversaries. In fact, patient health information often fetches as much as $1,000 per record. When compared to other, more common personally identifiable information, like credit card data, which sells for between $12 - $20 per record, or email addresses, which often get sold in blocks of 1,000 for less than $100, you begin to understand why the healthcare industry increasingly finds itself a preferred target for cybercriminals: over the past decade, healthcare saw more than 2,100 data breaches.

    In the healthcare industry, it often feels as if the sand is shifting under your feet. Economic, political, market and social forces fluctuate constantly, creating deep uncertainty, while the rapid pace of technological change leaves organizations struggling to catch up. Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are common and complicated. The system’s structure (or lack thereof) contributes as well. The sheer complexity of the landscape and the number of entities involved – patients, providers, insurers, regulatory bodies, governmental layers, political factions and more – make objectives like continuity of care particularly challenging.

    Healthcare organizations are focused on delivering high quality, high value experiences to its stakeholders. With the industry focus on patients at the center of care, there is an increasing need for digitizing the care continuum to ensure patients are getting the best treatment at all times.
