HEALTHCARE

THE CHALLENGES IN HEALTH

With the uptake in remote healthcare solutions, cloud service adoption, and a core focus on ‘patient-centric care’ – the ICT environment of a healthcare organisation is evolving. Use of these services introduce opportunity, but with opportunity comes risk, which state-based threat actors are also taking advantage of. In many cases, organisations are left with legacy infrastructure, cloud services and a complex supply-chain, increasing the potential avenues for attack.

In addition to the direct threats posed, many healthcare organisations are legally obliged to comply with different legislative requirements such as the SOCI Act 2022, the Privacy Act and GDPR. This adds an additional layer of complexity to consider when securing your organisation.

The development of a holistic and effective cybersecurity approach considers risk proactively, identifying potentially issues in their development and assessment phase, reducing cost and effort to fix issues after the fact - measuring twice, and cutting once. It is an on-going process that is imbedded into the organisation and not seen as a one off engagement.

SUCCESSFUL ORGANISATIONS CONSIDER CYBER SECURITY AS RISK MANAGEMENT

To imbed a holistic approach into your organisation, successful organisation’s consider cyber security as risk management. Starting with a cyber security risk assessment to define risk overall posed to the organised based on impact and likelihood.

On a project basis, such as implementing a new telehealth system or new cloud services, the successful healthcare provider may conduct a risk assessment or architecture review in the assessment phase, uncovering the risk prior to building or go live. Following implementation, penetration testing may be conducted to identifying the risks posed in the underlying technology, ‘bottom up’ risk management.

HOW A CYBER-ATTACK AFFECTS THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY.

Reports by the Australian Cybersecurity Centre illustrate that approximately one-quarter of reported cybersecurity incidents affected critical infrastructure organisations, including essential services. Industries such as the healthcare and social assistance sector reported the highest number of cyber security incidents during the 2020–21 financial year.  

Around the globe, statistics from IBM Cost of a Data Breach  report and 2022 Verizon DBIR shows the following figures and challenges faced by the sector.

    • 12 consecutive years the healthcare industry had the highest average cost of a breach. 

    • The average breach in healthcare increased by nearly USD 1 million to reach USD 10.10 million. 

    • 849 incidents, 571 with confirmed data disclosures occurred between 2021-2022. 

    • Basic Web Application Attacks were the leading cause of breaches with Miscellaneous Errors and System Intrusion following behind.
