Managing cybersecurity threats in healthcare supply chains
The healthcare sector is a prime target for cybercriminals wanting to access patient records and medical records through phishing attacks and other methods. Healthcare systems are attractive targets because they hold electronic health information, manage medical devices, and can't tolerate downtime that disrupts patient care.
