What is Healthcare Cybersecurity?

Healthcare cybersecurity refers to a specialized set of technologies, frameworks, and protocols designed to safeguard sensitive medical data, patient records, connected medical devices, and digital healthcare infrastructures against evolving cyber threats. Unlike generic cybersecurity, it accounts for HIPAA compliance, real-time patient data protection, and the operational continuity of clinical systems and IoT-based medical environments.

The rise in electronic health records (EHRs), remote diagnostics, and IoT-enabled medical devices has exponentially increased attack surfaces. This market presents new opportunities in proactive threat analytics and zero-trust architectures, delivers easy integrations with cloud-native hospital systems, ensures safe transmission and storage of patient data, and is driving big investments from both providers and payers. With ransomware attacks on healthcare systems doubling in recent years, cybersecurity has become a non-negotiable pillar of digital transformation strategies.
