Protecting Patient Data

Sensitive data in healthcare, particularly electronic protected health information (ePHI), is a prime target for cybercriminals due to its rich content, including personal and medical records. The value of this information can reach up to $1,000 per record on the dark web, making it far more lucrative than other types of stolen data. Cybercriminals not only seek to profit from this data but also use ransomware to disrupt healthcare operations, posing significant risks to patient safety.
