Cybersecurity in Healthcare: No Longer Optional — Now Mission-critical
Cybersecurity has moved from a background IT concern to a frontline priority in healthcare. Every system — from hospital networks to connected infusion pumps and patient data portals — is now a potential attack surface.
Ransomware, phishing, and sophisticated Internet of Things (IoT)-based breaches are on the rise, and the consequences are steep: interrupted care, financial loss, regulatory penalties, and reputational damage.
That’s why Frost & Sullivan analyzed 50 active vendors and spotlighted the top 15 companies shaping the future of healthcare cybersecurity in its latest Frost Radar™.
Is your current cybersecurity strategy strong enough to protect care delivery and patient trust in the face of rapidly evolving threats?
Why Healthcare Cybersecurity Is Under Pressure
The healthcare industry is particularly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Systems supporting care delivery — from patient databases to IoT monitoring devices — are attractive targets. When compromised, they can destabilize operations and compromise patient safety.
The problem is only intensifying:
- The rise of IoT and interconnected systems has created more entry points
- The volume and complexity of healthcare data continues to grow
- Evolving threat landscapes and increasing regulatory requirements are straining resources
- Many organizations still lack skilled professionals or adequate budgets to scale security
The risks go far beyond system downtime — they threaten patient safety, clinical outcomes, and long-term viability.
Do you have the right technologies — and partners — in place to support cybersecurity at every level of your infrastructure?
Industry Landscape and Strategic Imperatives
The North American healthcare cybersecurity industry is expected to grow from $15.34 billion in 2024 to $37.84 billion by 2030, representing a CAGR of 16.2%.
Key drivers include:
- Security as a strategic enabler (not just a checkbox)
- Demand for scalable, end-to-end protection
- Challenges from legacy systems and interoperability gaps
- A fragmented regulatory landscape creating urgency for proactive solutions
Leading cybersecurity vendors are responding by integrating technologies like:
- Zero trust network access
- Microsegmentation
- Next-gen firewalls and intrusion prevention
- Security information and event management (SIEM)
- AI and asset inventory intelligence
How well does your current cybersecurity infrastructure adapt to emerging compliance needs and tech integrations like AI or IoT?
