 Cyberattacks are costly in many ways: This shouldn't be news to anyone whose been paying attention, but two recent articles point out recent studies into the effects cyberattacks have on healthcare organizations.  A recent Modern Healthcare article points out that almost 9 in 10 healthcare organizations suffered at least one cyberattack within the past year, with the average organization suffering almost one attempted attack per week.  Successful attacks average $4.4 million in costs.

Dollar costs aren't the only damage cyberattacks cause.  A HealthIT Security article illustrates that cyberattacks also impact patient safety, causing increase in hospital stays and increased mortality.  

Cyberattacks cost money and health, if not lives.  Treat them seriously; defend your organization and your patients.
