Attacks on Healthcare Are Rising

The healthcare sector remains a prime target for cybercrime. The surge in healthcare data breaches that began at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic has shown no signs of abating, even as life has mostly returned to pre-pandemic conditions. But it’s not just large hospitals and health systems that cybercriminals are focused on. Attacks against small and midsize practices are not only profitable for cybercriminals—they’re often far too easy to execute.

In the first section of this two-part e-book, we’ll explain why cybercriminals are targeting healthcare—particularly small medical or dental practices—and review some of the most prevalent cyberthreats that providers need to watch out for. Then in part two, we’ll explore HIPAA and PCI compliance, as well best practices for keeping your systems secure.
