GlobalData projects that cybersecurity revenues in the healthcare sector will reach $11 billion by 2027 as cyberattacks become increasingly prevalent. A recent cyber-attack on major London hospitals, including Guy’s, St Thomas’, and the Evelina Children’s Hospital, highlighted the severe impacts such incidents can have, including the rescheduling of surgeries, redirection of organs, and postponement of numerous outpatient appointments. The pandemic-induced shift to remote and virtual care has expanded the technological attack surfaces during a time when security measures were often insufficient.
