Healthcare cybersecurity has become a board-level priority following a wave of ransomware attacks that disrupted clinical operations at hospital systems, pharmacy chains, and health insurers. The Change Healthcare cyberattack in early 2024 — a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group — caused unprecedented disruption to healthcare payment processing, affecting hundreds of thousands of providers and patients. HIPAA compliance requirements, the FDA's medical device cybersecurity guidance, and zero trust architecture adoption are reshaping how healthcare organizations approach security. Healthcare data breaches are the most expensive of any industry — averaging over $10 million per incident — due to the sensitivity of protected health information.
