Cyberattacks Targeting Healthcare

Hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals because they manage life critical systems and large volumes of sensitive patient data. Attacks on electronic health records, connected medical devices, and hospital IT networks can delay diagnostics, cancel surgeries, and disrupt essential care. Recent global incidents have shown that ransomware and data theft can force facilities to revert to manual processes, pay significant ransoms, or suffer long service outages, directly affecting patient safety and trust.
