The healthcare industry is a prime target for cybercriminals; here is the proof. ⤵️ Our experts analyzed the rise of healthcare data breaches and found that in January 2025 alone, healthcare organizations in twenty-one states reported being affected by cyberattacks. In the same month, several high-profile data breaches involving over 1.4 million individuals occurred. We also found that the largest industry breach in 2024 impacted 190 million patient records, and it all started with ONE compromised account that did not have MFA required. 😱 What does this mean? The increasing frequency of such incidents underscores the urgent need for a new approach to data security where Identity protection and threat detection are at the core. Attackers aren't breaking in; they're logging in, and healthcare organizations need to protect data first to combat risks to patient privacy. Our latest report delves into these alarming trends and offers insights into how healthcare organizations can safeguard their sensitive data.
