Healthcare organisations across Europe must take precautions to protect their systems to reduce their risk of cyberattacks.

The NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is a leading academic hospital that delivers virtual and in-person care to a wide range of patients. The hospital offers urgent care services, as well as primary and specialized care. This facility recently discovered a data breach that exposed the information of more than 54,000 patients overall.

The HIPAA Security Rule requires healthcare organizations to perform regular security risk assessments to protect e-PHI. Penetration testing can help organizations with this requirement.

In a recent dive into the deep web, Foresiet, the cyber security firm has made a shocking discovery. Our team has uncovered a massive data breach of a healthcare company in Texas, US. The data breach has resulted in the exposure of sensitive patient information and has left the affected patients vulnerable to identity theft and other serious consequences. The Breach Details During our deep web exploration, we stumbled upon a downloadable link to the breached data.

In 2022, the healthcare industry set a record no one will be eager to break. According to IBM’s 2022 Cost of a Data Breach report, the average cost of a breach in healthcare climbed to $10.1 million dollars, making it the industry with the highest average breach cost for 12 years running. Meanwhile, 57% of organizations are planning to increase their cybersecurity budgets in 2023.

In the ever-changing world of IoT, early adopters of this technology, including many medical and manufacturing organizations, are finding that the devices they so heavily invested in are now less secure than ever. You might think that the only solution is to replace existing technology with new greenfield devices, but is there a way to extend the life of existing equipment, minimizing the cost of new technology and the overall impact your corporation has on the environment?

We're excited to share that Nightfall has been named as a Leader in Data Loss Prevention (DLP) in G2's Spring '23 rankings. Huge thank you to our customers and supporters who made this possible, and to our dedicated team who works so hard to keep their cloud data safe. This year has been a busy one, with the release of our Advanced Secrets Detection, that provide detailed metadata about discovered API keys, like whether they're active

Cyber attacks are targeted at significant organizations, and this week is an excellent reminder that medical facilities aren't safe. Along with AT&T and Minneapolis Schools, three different medical establishments were hit and suffered from a loss of information in one way or another. Zoll, a Medical device and technologies company suffered staggering losses, while Cerebral gave up mental health information and Lawrence General Hospital lost HIPAA-protected information.

Cerebral is an online mental health company that's attempting to bring mental health care to patients around the country virtually. The company deals with tens of thousands of patients, and we've just learned that many of those patients may have had their information exposed to companies like Meta, Google, and TikTok. Cerebral is a startup company, and unfortunately, it isn't that unusual for startups to suffer from data issues such as this one.
