Healthcare data has arguably never been under greater threat than it is today. In 2023, 1 in 3 individuals in the U.S. were affected by healthcare breaches, with record numbers of cyberattacks on the industry.

Healthcare breaches can expose individuals affected to identity theft, blackmail, and other forms of cybercrime. This means that healthcare companies that fail to take strong measures to prevent these damaging consequences often suffer significant hits to their reputation.

What’s more, healthcare regulations like HIPAA and GDPR set stringent standards for data management. Organizations that don’t secure their data can receive sizable legal penalties.

In our Healthcare Data Crisis report, we share new data -gathered through our platform -that highlights how insecure file-sharing practices are exposing large amounts of sensitive data.

In this report, you’ll discover:

- The critical security gaps in healthcare organizations’ file-sharing practice, including the fact that 25% of publicly shared files in healthcare organizations contain Personally IdentifiableInformation (PII). 


- The common file-sharing mistakes being made by healthcare employees that are bringing about these security risks.

- How a Data Loss Prevention solution like Metomic can pinpoint where sensitive data is located and who has access to it, and automate the necessary actions to safeguard any exposed data.
