Recent Trends and Developments in the Market
- PANACEAresearch proposed to deliver a cybersecurity toolkit in the period 2019-2021 that would provide a combination of technical and non-technical elements, including platforms for dynamic risk assessment, security-by-design and secure information sharing.
- Growing use of IoT devices in the medical industry increases the risk of exploitation of data through ransomware attacks, which is estimated to generate the demand for improved and effective cybersecurity by healthcare providers. It is estimated that around 82% of healthcare organizations have experienced a cyberattack on their IoT devices in the past one year.
Introduction to Healthcare Cybersecurity
Increasing data violation in the healthcare industry is a matter of growing concern. Networks and systems belonging to hospitals containing real time data of a large number of patients are hacked through various threats to security. Healthcare industry is highly dependent on systems that connect data of patients to various devices and equipment in the hospitals. The techniques such as phishing and malware allow hackers to access private information of patients and hospitals that might include bank details and financial data as well. Cybersecurity is introduced into healthcare in order to maintain integrity of the patient data that is collected and stored in large amounts on a regular basis.
Market Size and Forecast
Increased frequency of cyber-crimes has driven the demand for cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. The healthcare organizations are adopting measures to secure their connected networks, servers and medical devices. The various cases of medical frauds such as theft of patient health records, medical identity fraud have further led to the increase in demand for healthcare cybersecurity.
The healthcare cybersecurity market is anticipated to record a CAGR of around 16% over the forecast period i.e. 2019-2027. The market is segmented by threat, by security, by solution, by end user and by region, out of which, the threat segment is further segmented into malware, ransomware, distributed denial-of-service [DDoS] and others. On the basis of threat, the ransomware segment is estimated to hold the largest share in the healthcare cybersecurity market on account of increased ransomware attacks by hackers resulting in data breaches.
Hackers prefer ransomware over other forms of threats as it allows encryption of important data belonging to hospitals and other healthcare companies. The unauthorized access that is provided by ransomware denies the patient data access to organizations. This is estimated to significantly raise the demand for security measures that would prevent such attacks, thereby increasing the market size for this segment.
