Healthcare’s Growing Cyber Risk

Cyber Risk Deep Dive: Healthcare

September 04, 20251 min read

The healthcare industry has become one of the top targets for cyberattacks and the impact is devastating. Why? Because patient records are 50x more valuable than credit card data on the dark web.

Hospitals, practices, and clinics face unique challenges: outdated systems, multiple third-party vendors, and the critical need for 24/7 uptime. When ransomware strikes, it doesn’t just cost money, it can delay care and put lives at risk.

And the financial burden? Massive. From HIPAA penalties to ransom payments and lost revenue, the costs of a single cyber event can cripple a provider.

The Risks You Can’t Ignore

  • Data breaches exposing patient health information (PHI)

  • Ransomware attacks shutting down life-saving systems

  • Social engineering targeting staff and providers with convincing scams

These threats aren’t going away, they’re increasing. Which means your clients in healthcare need protection now more than ever.

Why This Matters for Agents

Cyber risk isn’t just an IT issue; it’s a business continuity and patient safety issue. That makes it a prime opportunity for you as an agent to step in with the right coverage.

The good news? There is cyber insurance solutions built specifically for healthcare providers, covering everything from ransomware recovery to regulatory fines and beyond.
