Healthcare
The nature of the healthcare industry is such that organisations operating within it are obliged to attain, process, and store highly sensitive patient data. For this reason, healthcare providers in both the public and private sector are increasingly targeted for cyber-attack.
Common forms of attack include ransomware, cloud and email compromises, and supply chain attacks. Suppliers are often targeted due to their greater vulnerability, and their ability to provide back-door access into the intended target.
Gaining access to any hospitals confidential patient data potentially offers a high monetary return to a hacker, making the healthcare industry a valuable target for hackers. Hacks of any nature can negatively impact upon a healthcare organization’s daily operations, patient care, productivity, and finances.

Detect and Respond to Intrusion
Social Engineering is the use of psychological manipulation to influence individuals to disclose sensitive information or perform actions that may not be in their best interest. It is a common tactic used by cybercriminals to gain access to systems and data, and it can be particularly effective in the legal sector due to the high levels of trust that clients place in legal firms.
