"Cybercrime and medical devices: a growing threat for patients"

HIMSS

Cybercrime is an increasingly worrying matter for healthcare organisations. As healthcare is quickly embracing the digital transformation, more and more processes and communications are being digitised. A clear example of healthcare's vulnerability to cybercrime was WannaCry's attack to the NHS in May last year, wich disrupted operations at approximately one-third of hospitals trusts and around eight percent of GP practices. The NHS recongnised that the attack had an estimated cost of £92m.
