Healthcare Under Siege: The Growing Threat to Patient Safety

Healthcare systems are facing unprecedented cybersecurity challenges, with attacks targeting Operational Technology (OT) devices and critical medical infrastructure. These threats compromise patient safety, disrupt operations, and expose confidential records, highlighting the urgent need for robust cybersecurity solutions.

Rising Cyberattacks
In 2024, one in three hospitals experienced cyberattacks, with tens of millions of patient records compromised.
Impact on Patient Care
77% of healthcare organizations reported disruptions to patient care due to cyber incidents, including delays in treatment and increased mortality rates.
Escalating Costs
The average cost of a healthcare data breach reached $11 million in 2023, reflecting the growing complexity of these attacks.
Targeted Medical Devices
Attacks on connected medical devices and systems threaten life-saving operations and patient outcomes.
Why It Matters

Cyberattacks on healthcare systems threaten more than operations—they endanger lives. From disrupting critical medical devices to exposing patient records, these threats require advanced solutions to safeguard healthcare providers, patients, and critical systems.

A Case Study

Let’s Review a
Real-World Attack

Ransomware Attack on Universal Health Services (UHS) Targeting OT Systems (2020)

Universal Health Services (UHS), one of the largest healthcare providers in the U.S., was attacked by the Ryuk ransomware in September 2020. While the attack primarily affected IT systems, there were also impacts on OT systems that manage critical infrastructure like HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning), medical devices, and building access controls.
