Cybersecurity in the healthcare sector: The risk of being unprepared

Cybersecurity in the healthcare sector has become an urgent priority. Clinics, hospitals and laboratories handle sensitive data, operate critical systems and provide life-saving services. However, they are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks that affect both institutions and patients.

In this article we analyze the main risks and tell you how Cyberpeace helps organizations in the healthcare sector to protect themselves with specialized solutions.

Why is it urgent to talk about cybersecurity in the healthcare sector?

The number of cyberattacks on hospitals has increased considerably in recent years. These attacks not only compromise patient privacy, but can also paralyze emergency services, compromise treatments and put human lives at risk.

According to an IBM study, the healthcare sector has the highest average cost per data breach, exceeding $10 million per incident. But beyond the economic impact, there is the loss of trust, reputation and operational security

Common risks of not having digital health protection:

• Leakage of medical records and personal data.

• System hijacking (ransomware) and operational blockages.

• Loss of critical information.

• Interruption of surgeries, consultations or diagnoses.

• Damage to institutional reputation.

• Non-compliance with data protection regulations.

Cybersecurity: more than a system, it is a human responsibility.

It's not just about protecting files or passwords. Digital security in medical institutions is a decision that directly impacts people's health and well-being.

Every second that a medical institution operates without adequate protection it is exposed to a risk that can cost much more than money.
