Perception vs. Reality: How does the current state of Healthcare Cyber Preparedn

Like recent Cyber targets, Marriott and Quora, Healthcare providers, insurers and med-tech firms present a rich target for cyber criminals, offering lucrative gains. eSentire conducted independent research, interviewing 1,250 senior executives, leaders and security practitioners to understand the risks that face their organizations, and the strategies and investments they are making to protect their businesses. What emerges is a paradox of perceived readiness when it comes to responding to cyberattacks, which is not supported by the underlying data when it comes to spend, security programs, reporting, and attack data from eSentire’s security operations centers. Recent cyber-attacks allow for a prescriptive baseline in order to explore those findings and delve into the conflicting evidence to provide a clear picture of where healthcare security stands, and where it needs to go to meet the threats posed by the cyber criminals actively hunting them.
