Did you know 13% of healthcare organizations are targeted by external cyber attacks at least once a day? Check out the statistics

RP members do we have a problem with the safeguarding of our medical information in the civilian world or what?

With the cost of healthcare rising, will protecting confidential information cause expenses to go higher?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was higher. Those would be considered "detected" attacks. Not mentioning unknown backdoors and attempting to physically compromising the organization.

CPT (Join to see) I believe it is and there are number of smaller institutions as well as big ones that don't let the public know (bad press). Just a guess and my opinion!

It's really not that difficult to protect and harden healthcare IT systems. No more so than other types of IT systems.
In fact, it should be cheaper. Since more and more people are becoming IT professionals, salaries are going down since more people have the same skill sets.
