Big Threats, Narrow Protection The risks of IT and security silos in healthcare systems
Ransomware and DDoS attacks are rapidly increasing in healthcare, causing severe operational and financial damage. Hospitals can experience a 20% drop in patient volume and a 40% revenue loss in ERs during the first week of an attack, while ransomware incidents rose 128% from 2022 to 2023. Nearly 7% of daily internet traffic now stems from denial‑of‑service activity.

Healthcare systems need unified visibility and coordinated defense to reduce risk and maintain continuity of care.
