A few weeks ago, we published an article discussing the importance of cybersecurity in the healthcare sector due to the increase in cyberattacks targeting this industry, reviewing the most common types of malware that can affect healthcare centers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, or biotech firms.

The healthcare sector is one of the most vulnerable to cyberattacks. This is due to the large volume of sensitive and confidential data it manages.

These measures must be included in their operational policies.
