Top Healthcare Cybersecurity Threats of 2021

As 2021 comes to a close, we at Medigate took a look back at what happened this year in healthcare security. Now, it would’ve been considerate for the “bad guys” to take a break and give our healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) time to focus on the global pandemic. Unfortunately, they continued to attack.

This report highlights the top offenders in each of these vectors and provides some generalized recommendations to secure your network. While no one can predict the future exactly, we can confidently expect the trend of bad actors attacking healthcare cyber-physical systems to continue increasing next year. This report looks at those trends and concludes with some general thoughts about the state of device security in 2022.
