Securing Australia’s Critical Healthcare Infrastructure

The Australian healthcare industry has faced a barrage of sophisticated cyber-attacks in recent years. Ransomware attacks that can cripple all digital activity, including clinical access to patient records, can prove lucrative to malicious online actors, who seek to profit from such criminally reprehensible activity. Such a threat environment demands a comprehensive security response that includes 24/7 protection.

The Rising Threat Landscape in Healthcare

The harsh reality of the cyber security landscape is that hackers are continually refining their methods. They prey on private and sensitive data, looking to exploit loopholes within an organisation’s tech infrastructure. These threats never sleep, and Australian healthcare providers are increasingly adopting stringent security measures to protect their digital assets, including a Security Operations Centre (SOC) component to their defensive structures.

A secondary risk facing the healthcare industry stems from invigorated regulatory oversight. Storage and use of private data is emerging as a key driver of regulatory activity, with oversight bodies imposing strict sanctions on organisations that fail to uphold their responsibilities. Huge fines, reputational damage, and operational disruption are just a fraction of the potential fallout should a data breach impact your digital assets.
