Summary

The healthcare industry is facing growing cybersecurity threats, with various attacks such as Conficker, WannaCry, and Petya causing significant damage to hospitals and healthcare systems. The threat landscape continues to evolve with new attack vectors emerging due to digitization, data growth, and increased technology adoption in healthcare. Cybersecurity measures are crucial for operational resiliency, but traditional security assessment methods often fall short of uncovering critical vulnerabilities. Crowdsourced cybersecurity is becoming an essential element of any organization's cybersecurity program, offering a solution to healthcare IT teams looking to mitigate risks and protect patient data. Employing crowdsourced security programs can help organizations uncover 7X more critical vulnerabilities than traditional methods, providing a much-needed solution for the growing threat landscape in healthcare.
