Cybersecurity in healthcare is essential to keeping patients safe. For hospitals, a data breach isn’t a mere inconvenience — it can delay life-saving treatments and disrupt vital care. Addressing these risks requires targeted, supportive legislation that makes cybersecurity the foundation of patient safety, empowering healthcare organizations — regardless of size — to meet essential security standards and keep patients safe.

It’s all too clear that the cybersecurity community, once more, is facing elevated challenges as well as opportunities.

The world’s reliance on interconnected digital infrastructure continues to deepen, even as the threats facing it grow in sophistication and scope.

2024 was another banner year for cybercriminals—and not in a good way for the rest of us. From massive credential leaks to supply chain compromises, the sheer scope and creativity of this year’s data breaches were enough to keep even the most seasoned security teams awake at night.

The end of the year is quickly approaching, and technology companies may be moving even faster.

2024 kicked off with palpable excitement for the growing sophistication of generative AI and machine learning tools. Businesses looked to harness the power of AI to automate and streamline numerous internal and external processes alongside their products.
