Mimecast and HIMSS Media say hospitals and health systems are failing to prioritize employee security awareness training, as 90 percent experienced an email-related cyberattack in the last year.
The overwhelming majority of hospitals and health systems experienced an email-based cyberattack in the last year, with 72 percent experiencing downtime due to the security incident, according to a joint report from Mimecast and HIMSS Media.
The report reconfirms last year’s results, which showed the healthcare sector’s email security defenses lag behind other industries.
HIMSS Media surveyed hospital and health system leaders tasked with significant involvement with email security investments on behalf of Mimecast in November to get a sense of the threat landscape around email and data security within those environments.
