About this whitepaper

Healthcare data remains a prime target for cybercriminals, demanding a flexible, multi-layered fraud prevention strategy. Despite a stabilization in global cybercrime attack rates in 2024, sophisticated human-initiated attacks, particularly on mobile devices and high-value actions, highlight the urgent need for adaptive, user-centric security to protect sensitive patient information.

In this content, you will learn:

  • The alarming rise in human-initiated attacks, especially on mobile, targeting healthcare organizations.
  • Why high-value actions like changes to account details are increasingly targeted, with a 92% year-over-year increase in attacks.
  • The critical need for strong multi-factor authentication and balancing rigorous security with a convenient user experience.
  • How a comprehensive, multi-layered defense using data, generative AI, and predictive analytics is essential for detecting and preventing online attacks.
