One thought on “Cyberattacks on hospitals are likely to increase, putting lives at risk, experts warn

  1. As a retired network engineer, the first half of my career was spent making sure machines could talk to each other. The last half of my career was spent making sure machines couldn’t talk. I also spent my first 25 years in a hospital environment, and then the last dozen years at a utility.

    The big difference was there were federal regulations that REQUIRED high levels of cyber security for utilities with potential fines.
    I know everybody hates big government, but that’s what it’s going to take to keep health care facilities from killing people because they were lax on cyber security. I know in my hospital system, certain CEO’s considered IT “overhead” and not a key part of the business and so was often a target for budget cuts and the first thing to be cut is often cyber security.
