Trustwave releases actionable cybersecurity intel for healthcare.
Trustwave, a leading cybersecurity provider, has released a comprehensive research report titled "Cybersecurity in the Healthcare Industry: Actionable Intelligence for an Active Threat Landscape." The report delves into the specific cybersecurity risks faced by healthcare organizations and offers practical strategies to bolster their defenses.
Healthcare entities are increasingly targeted by malicious
actors utilizing various attack vectors. Trustwave SpiderLabs' research
scrutinizes the attack flow employed by threat groups, shedding light on their
tactics, techniques, and procedures. From phishing campaigns to exploiting
vulnerabilities and compromising third-party vendors, these persistent threats
pose significant risks to the industry.
The repercussions of cyber attacks in the healthcare sector
can be severe, potentially even fatal. Adversaries are highly motivated by
financial gains and continually refine their techniques. In 2022, the average
cost of a healthcare data breach amounted to $10.1 million, surpassing the
industry average.
The report focuses on the unique challenges faced by
healthcare cyber leaders in safeguarding patient well-being, upholding quality
care, and leveraging cutting-edge digital technologies. It explores emerging
trends, the targeting of healthcare organizations by ransomware groups, the
risks associated with third-party vendors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices,
and specific cybersecurity challenges prevalent in the industry.
Trustwave SpiderLabs' research acts as a valuable resource
for healthcare organizations, equipping them with insights to comprehend and
combat the diverse range of attack groups, malware variants, and techniques
deployed against them. The report identifies prominent threat actors and their
tactics, including phishing, vulnerability exploitation, webshells, and
malware.
