Cybersecurity Issues in Healthcare: Threats and Regulations 

Healthcare is today the number one most targeted industry for cybersecurity threats and data breaches. The sensitive nature of the information collected from patients makes it a lucrative target, as the information is highly profitable on the black market. At the same time, healthcare businesses such as hospitals are particularly likely to pay ransoms when attacks disrupt their life-saving work. With an increasing dependence on technology to care for patients, the threats can only be expected to rise.  

• Attorneys today advising healthcare businesses should know the technical risks and regulations they face as well as the right questions to ask Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and the information to provide them with.  
• Technologists and executives across healthcare organizations will find this primer on the increasing technical, legal, and regulatory threats a useful tool for informing their risk management planning and practice.
