Abstract
Sentara Healthcare’s experience in cybersecurity. Modern cyberattacks impact much more than privacy and brand reputation; they can disrupt the safe delivery of care. For instance, in 2017, a global security incident affected National Health Service hospitals in England and Scotland, preventing them from providing patient services and leading to the cancellation of thousands of appointments.
Concluding remarks
Such serious cyberattacks are increasingly common and have evolved from disrupting back-office operations to threatening patient safety and the financial stability of healthcare organizations. As cybersecurity risks escalate, successful organizations must swiftly adapt their information security strategies and establish world-class cyber defense programs.
