According to IBM’s 2025 “Cost of a Data Breach” report, healthcare remains the most expensive industry for data breaches, with each incident averaging $7.42 million. While this marks a decrease from the previous year’s $9.77 million, it underscores the sector’s vulnerability to cyber threats.
The High Stakes of Healthcare Downtime
Healthcare organizations operate in a landscape where downtime can lead to:
- Delayed Patient Care: Inability to access electronic health records can delay diagnoses and treatments.
- Financial Losses: Extended downtime can result in canceled procedures, lost revenue, and potential fines.
- Reputation Damage: Frequent or prolonged outages can erode patient trust and confidence.
- Regulatory Scrutiny: Healthcare’s regulatory environment means breaches often lead to significant legal and compliance costs.
The 2025 report also highlights that healthcare breaches take the longest to identify and contain, averaging 279 days, five weeks longer than the global average.
