The New Threat: Attackers That Target Healthcare Organizations (and What You Can Do About It)

Overview HealthCare Organizations (HCOs) are facing a new threat. They're being targeted by financially motivated attackers that steal and sell valuable data - including identities - and computing resources. Armed with sophisticated tools, attackers exploit countless software vulnerabilities that exist in the multitude of systems a provider relies upon, including web-based applications such EHR/EMR systems. The consequences of an attack can include reductions in quality of care, service disruptions, reduced revenues, higher operating costs, and regulatory fines.
