Cybersecurity in healthcare is the use of information security goods and services by healthcare organizations to prevent data breaches and cyberattacks on digital medical records, clinical patient data, and hospital data. The importance of data in the medical field has grown significantly, and this trend is expected to continue as more IT-enabled healthcare services are integrated and as the practice of capturing data digitally for the administrative staff's convenience and future use grows.
United Kingdom Healthcare Cybersecurity Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Drivers: The need for cybersecurity in the healthcare industry has increased due to an increase in hacking and cyberattack cases. Healthcare companies are utilizing a range of integrative cybersecurity software and solutions to ward against cyberattacks. They are also making a greater effort to secure the privacy and security of clinical data, connected networks, and devices, which is fueling the expansion of the market.
Additionally, there has to be an increase in cyberthreats as connected technology is incorporated into healthcare even more. Smartphones remain the primary means of communication between physicians and patients.
