Healthcare companies are facing a cyber security crisis
Many industries have found that the rapid expansion in demand for digital information has outpaced efforts to keep the data secure. This is a particular issue for healthcare organizations which handle confidential records yet have seen some headline breaches in recent years.
UpGuard, the company behind the CSTAR security preparedness score for enterprises, has released a new report which provides fresh data on the security failings of companies in the healthcare industry.
The company evaluated 500 healthcare companies across various sectors -- from health insurers to pharmaceutical companies and hospitals -- and gave them each a CSTAR score, a single measure of a company's cyber security risk, indexed on a 0-950 scale.
