Healthcare security needs investment to stave off cyberattacks, says report

A new report from IDC Health Insights claims that healthcare security needs investment to ensure protection from an increasing threat of cyber attacks, according to the Computing website.

From the 2014 ICE Insights Cross Industry Cyber Theft Survey, in a section dealing with ‘Cyber Threats and Attacks Against Healthcare Organizations’, the group discovered that 39.4 percent of American healthcare organizations had been hit by more than 10 cyber attacks in the last year, with nearly a third (27.1 percent) of these marked as “successful”.
