The potential for a cyberattack has always been prevalent but has increased exponentially over the past several years. The rate of cybercrimes is growing every year. It is estimated to impact upwards of 80% of businesses across the globe in one way or another. Many times, this is the result of limited monitoring capabilities.
More than half of cyberattacks are the result of ransomware attacks. Of this, healthcare databases are among the most frequently targeted because they are critical to operations, and they contain scores of personally identifiable information that is easy to exploit. Cybercriminals are always looking for vulnerabilities and potential ways to exploit your system.
What’s more, remote work means more opportunities for bad actors to work their way into your organization’s system. Unsecured or vulnerable endpoints and new security threats across a distributed environment are just two more reasons to secure your system.
