Healthcare organizations face an uptick in cyber threats, as malicious actors turn to tools like ransomware, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) attacks. These threats are becoming increasingly significant in the dynamic cyber threat landscape, a Trustwave SpiderLabs report revealed.
