Third-Party Cyberattacks: The Healthcare Sector’S Achilles’ Heel

Sam Peters, Chief Product Officer, ISMS.onlineThe healthcare industry’s continual digital revolution requires it to increasingly rely on third-party vendors for everything from electronic health records to telehealth platforms. While these partnerships offer undeniable benefits like improved patient care, cost savings and efficiency, they also expose healthcare organizations to third-party, or supply chain, cyberattacks.The numbers are sobering. A recent analysis of data breaches by Security Scorecard for its Global Third-Party Cybersecurity Breaches Report found healthcare was the worst affected industry with the highest volume of third-party breaches, followed by financial services. More than one-quarter (28%) of all breaches occurred at healthcare organizations.Third-party breaches aren’t just isolated incidents; they are happening across the healthcare spectrum and impacting massive amounts of financial or patient data. Earlier this year, Change Healthcare, a subsidiary of UnitedHealthcare, experienced a ransomware attack that came into the organization’s network through a third-party provider, resulting in a theft of 4TB of data and costing Change $22 million in ransom. It’s estimated that patient data for one in three Americans could be involved, and the American Hospital Association has referred to the incident as “the most serious incident of its kind levelled against a U.S
