Abstract
Cybersecurity has become a thorny issue for numerous organizations in the country
(Ayala, 2016). There has been an increase in the cases of data breaches in the last couple of
decades; some of the worst hit organizations have fallen prey to criminals and criminal entities
losing billions of dollars’ worth of company and customers proprietary information (Orthner &
Blum, 2012). Healthcare industry has been a prime target for the criminal entities. This report
will pay particular focus on the current state of cybersecurity in the healthcare sector and also try
to understand why there has been an upsurge in the industry. Data breaches are known to be
executed by outsiders as well as insiders (Krausz, 2015). How then can healthcare organizations
better prepare for such attacks and shield themselves from such infiltrations, some of the
methods that may be applied in such scenarios have been suggested. It is critical for any
organization to prevent and control any type of breach and the exercise should be a prioritized
(Youngberg, 2010).
