According to statistics from the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS), 861 breaches of protected health information have been reported over the last 24 months. These numbers don’t exactly offer a good prognosis of cybersecurity standing among healthcare providers.
In this report, we diagnose factors contributing to this state of affairs and share important results from our research to aid those managing cyber risk in the Healthcare sector.
Key findings include:
- Healthcare boasts one of the highest average rates of severe security findings.
- The rate of severe security findings in the smallest providers is 3x higher than that of the largest providers.
- The industry average rate of severe security exposures in critical cloud-based assets is 10x that of assets hosted on-premises.
GO BEYOND SECURITY RATINGS
Protect your digital assets
You rely on your third- and fourth-party vendors to do business, but those vendors also pose risk to your enterprise’s sensitive data. RiskRecon gives you accurate, non-invasive visibility into your vendors’ security postures and then ranks vulnerabilities in order of priority so you know which issues to tackle first.
With our third-party cyber risk assessments, you’ll also be provided with custom-fitted risk action plans so you can immediately start engaging with your vendor for remediation. And if a vendor’s cyber risk degrades or an element falls out of policy, you’ll be notified instantly.
