Healthcare DIVE May 24, 2022
Dive Brief:
- Internal actors continue to pose a sticky cybersecurity problem for healthcare companies despite not causing a majority of data breaches, according to a new data breach report from Verizon.
- Employees were responsible for 39% of healthcare breaches last year. That’s compared to just 18% across all industries, Verizon found.
- The makeup of the insider breach has shifted from generally malicious misuse incidents to miscellaneous errors, with employees being more than 2.5 times more likely to make an error than purposefully misuse their access. Data misdelivery — like sending an email to the wrong person — along with device or document loss are the most common employee errors in healthcare, according to the report.
