Protecting the Healthcare sector from supply chain attacks

With a cyberattack occurring every 39 seconds, not only are they becoming more frequent, they are becoming more sophisticated and premeditated. Attackers have begun targeting supply chains, which is especially worrying as one attack can create a chain reaction and compromise a network of providers.

With many stages and companies involved, hackers are benefiting from the lack of sufficient security by infiltrating systems with malicious codes, compromising the code shipped into hardware components and gaining access to data. This is particularly concerning for the healthcare sector when the patient’s health depends on having secure equipment and services provided to them. To overcome these challenges on a global scale, security must be at the top of every organization's agenda to boost protection and bolster personal safety.
