Data breaches are a mounting crisis in our country and around the world. It seems like every day, we see in the news that another prominent company has been hacked by cyber criminals, putting the personal information of thousands of clients at risk. Especially vulnerable to these growing cyber threats are companies that deal with secure PI (Personal Information) and PHI (Personal Health Information) on a daily basis, including those in the healthcare, financial, legal and law enforcement industries, as well as municipalities.
Data security is a particularly crucial to healthcare organizations – In fact, security experts like Forta’s Tripwire rate healthcare as the second-most vulnerable industry in the world to data breaches today, following manufacturing. In the face of this growing threat, 75% of healthcare providers and payers reported having increased their spending on cyber security as well as AI and IT in 2024, according to global consultancy Bain & Company.
But no matter what industry you are in, if your company handles sensitive data that is required by law and/or regulatory standards to be communicated to clients via printed mail, simply investing in cyber security for the digital space is not enough.
