Redefining Urgency in Healthcare Cybersecurity!
The healthcare sector faces a cyber pandemic, with ransomware attacks targeting 20% of stored sensitive data. Here is why your healthcare data is under siege:
1. High Value on Sensitive Data
2. Operational Dependence
3. Growing Data Estates
This surge in attacks not only jeopardizes patient privacy but also cripples essential healthcare services. With 358 ransomware attacks in 2023 alone, marking a 46% increase from the previous year, the threat landscape is evolving rapidly.

The dependency on cloud storage adds another layer of risk, with 70% of cloud-stored data lying in object storage, which often lacks adequate security coverage. It poses a significant challenge, as a staggering 88% of this data is either not machine-readable or falls outside prominent security technologies and services coverage.
