Healthcare must go beyond boundaries with security, systems, and connectivity to ensure patient and data protection that meets today’s cyber threats.

In light of the increasing cyber threats healthcare organizations face, it’s crucial to emphasize the importance of robust security measures. In 2023, a significant surge in cyber-attacks on healthcare systems was reported, with as many as 116 million individuals impacted by significant health data breaches. This alarming statistic underscores the critical need to protect patient data and maintain the functionality of essential healthcare infrastructure.
