InfraGard Report - Cybersecurity in U.S. Critical Infrastructure: Healthcare

In a recent CyberRisk Alliance survey, conducted amongst InfraGard’s members, respondents in the healthcare sector cited many challenges in maintaining an effective cybersecurity strategy.

Given that healthcare practitioners use an abundance of Internet of things (IoT) sensors and mobile devices, vulnerabilities to ransomware attacks are widespread, which significantly expands the attack surface. These devices are often set up with outdated, vulnerability-prone legacy operating systems.

In addition, vendor incidents and cyberattacks leading to network outages remain the leading cyber threats against the healthcare sector, as two more providers reported falling victim to these types of incidents.

The report outlines how CyberRisk Alliance utilized the Critical Infrastructure Resilience and Readiness(CIRR) benchmark scores to analyze cyber resilience and readiness in the healthcare sector.
