An additional 15 percent of respondents said cyberattacks led to a severe impact on care delivery and compromised patients’ health or safety, according to the Aug. 29 findings from Claroty, a cyber-physical systems protection company. 

Here are additional findings from the report:

  • Nearly a third of respondents whose organization experienced a cybersecurity incident in the past year incurred costs from the attack that totaled more than $1 million.
  • Forty-seven percent reported at least one incident that affected systems such as medical devices and building management systems.
  • Seventy-eight percent of respondents said their organizations experienced at least one cybersecurity incident over the last year.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
