Cybersecurity in Healthcare – Thematic Research

Cybersecurity in Healthcare Thematic Report Overview

The healthcare industry is particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks because it uses extremely sensitive data. Healthcare cybersecurity is implemented to protect patient safety and privacy and mitigate disruptions to business operations and company reputation. Pharma companies have proprietary scientific data and intellectual property, medical device companies develop connected devices, and healthcare companies collect and utilize patient data. The increased use of technology to support virtual care and digital monitoring, especially the cloud, increased the risk of cyberattacks. Additionally, the high speed of transition meant many IT security teams had insufficient time to install adequate security defenses.

The rush from in-person care to virtual care and digital monitoring, and from office-based work to remote working amid the COVID-19 pandemic, significantly increased cyber risk. Healthcare companies, especially hospitals and pharma companies, reported increases in cyberattack attempts and government bodies like the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued warnings about the increased threat.

The cybersecurity in healthcare thematic intelligence report gives an overview of the cybersecurity value chain in healthcare and challenges of the healthcare industry is facing. It also discusses case studies of cybersecurity deployments in healthcare, market size, growth forecasts, specialist cybersecurity vendors in healthcare, and an analysis of the cybersecurity activity in healthcare using various data sets, including deals, hiring, company filings, and social media.

Cybersecurity in Healthcare - Value Chain Analysis

GlobalData’s cybersecurity value chain is split into three segments: hardware, software, and services.

Cybersecurity Hardware: Chip-based security is a key part of the cybersecurity landscape due to the growing risks of cyberattacks. Systems vendors like Apple and Amazon are increasingly designing their chips rather than buying commercially developed devices and intellectual property (IP) from third-party developers. Additionally, with IoT devices deployed extensively, attention to the vulnerabilities of digital integrated circuit (IC) chips is increased, persuading companies and governments to make strategic decisions to introduce a new design tool and IP ecosystem.

Cybersecurity Value Chain

Cybersecurity Software:

The software element of the cybersecurity value chain includes identity management, network security, endpoint security, threat detection and response, cloud security, data security, email security, application security, unified threat management, and vulnerability management.

Cybersecurity Services:

The services element of the cybersecurity value chain includes managed security services, post-breach response services, and risk and compliance services. Services are typically outsourced because of the complexity of addressing cybersecurity-related issues, such as staying on top of vulnerabilities, identifying and responding to threats, and meeting compliance requirements.
