Every organization, regardless of what it does, faces some level of risk.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">That said, <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">some industries are targeted far more than others. Healthcare, unfortunately, is near the top of that list<\/strong>. First, let us explain why that\u2019s the case. Later, we\u2019ll discuss what healthcare facilities and institutions can do to better protect themselves against hacking attempts.<\/p><h2 id=\"why-the-healthcare-industry-is-particularly-vulnerable-to-cyberattacks\" class=\"Heading_root__WNfE8 Heading_heading30__zsK4j Heading_primary__oRqei Heading_medium__JTPnX SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading__ZOvVm SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading2__1AkXN SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"heading\">Why the healthcare industry is particularly vulnerable to cyber-attacks<\/h2><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">The key reason why healthcare is often targeted by cybercriminals is that <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">it deals with highly valuable data<\/strong>. To provide their services, healthcare companies must store and manage large volumes of electronic health records, sensitive patient information, and other confidential files. We\u2019re talking ID documents, Social Security numbers, medical histories, insurance papers, and more. All of those, as you can guess, are highly sought after on the dark web.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">And that\u2019s only part of the problem. We also need to consider that <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">many healthcare organizations still rely on outdated computer systems and legacy infrastructure.<\/strong> Yesterday\u2019s technologies simply can\u2019t keep up with today\u2019s cybersecurity threats\u2014and attackers know this all too well.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">Add to that the growing number of connected devices used in hospitals and clinics\u2014many of which lack proper security\u2014and you get a <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">large attack surface<\/strong>. In this scenario, every device creates a potential risk that cybercriminals can exploit to break into the system.<\/p><\/div><div id=\"section-2\"><div class=\"ArticleImage_root__KtuDJ BlogArticle_articleImage__qw2Gm\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ArticleImage_image__L_45g\" src=\"https:\/\/content.nordlayer.com\/uploads\/Reasons_why_healthcare_is_often_targeted_by_cybercriminals_13012c15e9.webp\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 500px, (max-width: 750px) 750px, (max-width: 1000px) 1000px, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/content.nordlayer.com\/uploads\/large_Reasons_why_healthcare_is_often_targeted_by_cybercriminals_13012c15e9.webp 1000w, https:\/\/content.nordlayer.com\/uploads\/small_Reasons_why_healthcare_is_often_targeted_by_cybercriminals_13012c15e9.webp 500w, https:\/\/content.nordlayer.com\/uploads\/medium_Reasons_why_healthcare_is_often_targeted_by_cybercriminals_13012c15e9.webp 750w, https:\/\/content.nordlayer.com\/uploads\/Reasons_why_healthcare_is_often_targeted_by_cybercriminals_13012c15e9.webp\" alt=\"An infographic presenting the reasons why healthcare is often targeted by cybercriminals\" \/><\/div><\/div><div id=\"section-3\"><h2 id=\"the-consequences-of-cyberattacks-for-healthcare-organizations\" class=\"Heading_root__WNfE8 Heading_heading30__zsK4j Heading_primary__oRqei Heading_medium__JTPnX SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading__ZOvVm SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading2__1AkXN SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"heading\">The consequences of cyber-attacks for healthcare organizations<\/h2><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">Let\u2019s start with this: if sensitive data\u2014personally identifying information, electronic health records, insurance details, and so on\u2014gets leaked, the consequences can be far-reaching. For instance, <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">attackers can use it to<\/strong> <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">file fake insurance claims<\/strong>. They might also <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">get prescription drugs illegally<\/strong>. In some cases, they could even <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">blackmail patients or medical institutions<\/strong> to keep medical records private.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">Of course, the impact of the breach on an organization can be profound. It can lead to <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">severe financial losses<\/strong> <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">and<\/strong> <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">big damage to its reputation<\/strong>. Regular and potential customers may lose trust and run off to competitors.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">And if you think incidents like this are probably rare, we hate to tell you otherwise. Cyber-attacks on healthcare companies have been <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/nordlayer.com\/learn\/hipaa\/healthcare-cybersecurity\/\">on the rise over the last few years<\/a>.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">In 2024, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reported that <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">the average number of healthcare breaches was two per day<\/strong>. That\u2019s millions of medical records compromised each year. This explains why healthcare organizations cannot afford to rely on half-measures when it comes to cybersecurity.<\/p><h2 id=\"how-to-defend-against-cyberattacks-in-healthcare\" class=\"Heading_root__WNfE8 Heading_heading30__zsK4j Heading_primary__oRqei Heading_medium__JTPnX SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading__ZOvVm SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading2__1AkXN SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"heading\">How to defend against cyber-attacks in healthcare<\/h2><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">Just because the healthcare industry is a frequent target for cybercriminals doesn\u2019t mean organizations in this sector should feel helpless. There are plenty of effective strategies and solutions available. If you\u2019re part of this sector, here\u2019s how you can improve your defenses:<\/p><h3 class=\"Heading_root__WNfE8 Heading_heading20__nWkNG Heading_primary__oRqei Heading_medium__JTPnX SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading__ZOvVm SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading3__usnTx SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"heading\">Control who has access to electronic medical records<\/h3><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">One way to boost <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/nordlayer.com\/learn\/hipaa\/healthcare-cybersecurity\/\">healthcare cybersecurity<\/a> is by adopting the <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/nordlayer.com\/learn\/zero-trust\/what-is-zero-trust\/\">Zero Trust model<\/a>. Maybe you\u2019ve heard the phrase \u201cNever trust, always verify\u201d\u2014that\u2019s what it\u2019s all about. It means you <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">double-check everyone\u2019s identity every time they need to access sensitive resources<\/strong>, even if you\u2019re 100% sure they work at your company. It may sound strict, but it\u2019s one of the best methods to stop unauthorized access.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">Also, just because someone is part of the team doesn\u2019t mean they should have unlimited access to all sensitive information. You want to <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">make sure people only access the apps and data they actually need<\/strong>, based on their role and responsibilities. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to set up proper access permissions for each user in your organization.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">Tools like <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/nordlayer.com\/zero-trust\/network-access\/\">Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions<\/a> can help you put this framework into practice. They let you set up proper identity checks and control access effectively, so employees only reach what they need for their work\u2014and nothing more.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">And one more thing. While focusing on digital access, remember to also control physical access to areas where servers and patient records are stored. Limiting this access helps prevent damage to equipment and data theft.<\/p><\/div><div id=\"section-4\"><div class=\"BlogArticle_relatedArticles__YcF38\"><div class=\"RelatedArticles_articlesContainer__9GYpL\"><div class=\"RelatedArticlesCard_root__kkt40\"><div class=\"RelatedArticlesCard_content__1_iRC\"><div class=\"ArticleMetadata_root__7f7Qg ArticleMetadata_variantSmall__dBOfg\"><div class=\"ArticleMetadata_metadata__hJKAB ArticleMetadata_withBullets__2nR4w\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"section-5\"><h3 class=\"Heading_root__WNfE8 Heading_heading20__nWkNG Heading_primary__oRqei Heading_medium__JTPnX SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading__ZOvVm SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading3__usnTx SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"heading\">Divide your network into smaller parts<\/h3><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">Speaking of controlling access to resources, you can take that concept further by breaking up your company\u2019s network into smaller elements called \u201csegments.\u201d This process is called <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/nordlayer.com\/learn\/network-security\/network-segmentation\/\">network segmentation<\/a>. Basically, by using <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/nordlayer.com\/learn\/firewall\/what-is-firewall\/\">firewalls<\/a>, gateways, and internet protocols, you <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">create separate areas of the network for specific user groups to operate in<\/strong>\u2014without giving them access to the other parts.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">How does this help? For one, if a security incident occurs, it will be contained within that one particular segment. This means it won\u2019t spread across the entire network. This not only helps you identify and resolve the issue faster but also protects the rest of your IT environment.<\/p><h3 class=\"Heading_root__WNfE8 Heading_heading20__nWkNG Heading_primary__oRqei Heading_medium__JTPnX SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading__ZOvVm SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading3__usnTx SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"heading\">Use encryption to protect all patient records<\/h3><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">When you encrypt sensitive information like medical research and patient records, you ensure that <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">even if someone gets hold of this data, it will appear as a scrambled mess when they try to open it<\/strong>. All the information stays unreadable until the correct decryption key is provided.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">Encryption is especially useful when you\u2019re sharing sensitive information online, particularly between remote sites or workers. To keep data secure in transit, end-to-end encryption is often used. This means <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">the data is encrypted right on the sender\u2019s device and stays encrypted until it reaches the intended recipient<\/strong>, where it\u2019s decrypted.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">Because the data remains encrypted throughout its entire journey, even if someone intercepts it while it passes from point A to point B, they won\u2019t be able to read or misuse it. Just remember that this protection requires using strong algorithms like <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/nordlayer.com\/blog\/aes-encryption\/\">AES-256<\/a> or XChaCha20 for encrypting your data\u2014some weaker ones can still be cracked with modern hacking tools.<\/p><h3 class=\"Heading_root__WNfE8 Heading_heading20__nWkNG Heading_primary__oRqei Heading_medium__JTPnX SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading__ZOvVm SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading3__usnTx SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"heading\">Get everyone to use only strong passwords<\/h3><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">No matter how much you invest in healthcare cybersecurity, all that effort can go to waste if employees are using weak passwords. <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/www.verizon.com\/business\/resources\/reports\/2024-dbir-data-breach-investigations-report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Verizon reports<\/a> that web attacks happen mostly due to stolen credentials (77%) and easily guessable passwords (21%). That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to make sure everyone on every team uses strong, hard-to-guess credentials.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">To make this happen, you can use an advanced <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/nordpass.com\/business-password-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">business password manager<\/a> that allows you to <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">enforce a strong password policy<\/strong>. Plus, it can help employees easily create, manage, and securely store strong passwords for all their work accounts. This way, they won\u2019t have to struggle with coming up with long, random strings of characters or keep passwords written down in notebooks.<\/p><h3 class=\"Heading_root__WNfE8 Heading_heading20__nWkNG Heading_primary__oRqei Heading_medium__JTPnX SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading__ZOvVm SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading3__usnTx SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"heading\">Add more protection layers to your online accounts<\/h3><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">Considering how advanced threat actors\u2019 methods have become for cracking passwords, one thing\u2019s for sure\u2014passwords alone might not be enough to keep work accounts safe. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to add extra layers of security, like <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/nordlayer.com\/blog\/multi-factor-authentication-best-practices\/\">multi-factor authentication (MFA)<\/a>.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">By implementing MFA, you <strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">require users to prove their identity with something beyond a password<\/strong>. This can be a code sent to their phone or a biometric scan. Access is granted only after that second step is verified. That way, even if someone does get hold of an employee\u2019s password, they still won\u2019t be able to break into their account.<\/p><h3 class=\"Heading_root__WNfE8 Heading_heading20__nWkNG Heading_primary__oRqei Heading_medium__JTPnX SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading__ZOvVm SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_heading3__usnTx SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"heading\">Educate your employees<\/h3><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\"><strong class=\"Markdown_strong__Rxk9v\">You can\u2019t expect your team to follow security rules if you don\u2019t explain why those rules exist in the first place.<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">That\u2019s why investing in cybersecurity training is essential. In these sessions, the team should learn the basics of cyber threats and how to respond to attacks. For example, they should find out <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/nordlayer.com\/blog\/training-employees-on-cyber-security\/\">what a ransomware attack is<\/a>, what types of information they can handle online, and what to do if they accidentally click on a <a class=\"Link_root__D2Mxm Link_inherit__j4LYr Link_medium__8LZIg SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_link__AVHkv\" href=\"https:\/\/nordlayer.com\/learn\/threats\/phishing\/\">phishing link<\/a>.<\/p><p class=\"Text_text___v2aO SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_paragraph__va3m1 SharedArticleMarkdownComponents_horizontalSpacing__ayEp5\" data-testid=\"text\">By clearly explaining the threats, how they work, and how to avoid them, you greatly increase the chances that employees won\u2019t make the human errors that can lead to security breaches.
