Microsoft Report Highlights Attacks Against Healthcare Organizations Microsoft's recent report reveals that ransomware attacks have become one of the biggest cybersecurity challenges facing healthcare. With 389 U.S. healthcare organizations affected in 2024 alone, these attacks do more than disrupt systems – they increase clinical risk and impede patient care… with potentially devastating effects. Why is healthcare so vulnerable? 🔹 Increasingly complex digital systems (expanding the cyberattack threat surface) 🔹 Limited cybersecurity budgets 🔹 Prevalence of legacy technology 🔹 Limited staff education and training The Impact: Hospital downtime can cost up to $900K per day resulting in system shutdowns, delayed procedures, extended ER wait times and, most importantly, increases the risks to patient safety.
