Scottish health-technology firm Craneware reported a data exposure, adding to a run of incidents affecting the healthcare technology supply chain. Health data is among the most sensitive there is, which makes any exposure especially serious.
The takeaway
Healthcare and the suppliers around it are squarely in attackers’ sights: the data is valuable, the services are critical, and budgets are often stretched. It’s the same pressure we see across hospices, clinics and care providers.
Protecting health data well is achievable on a realistic budget with the right priorities — access control, encryption, monitoring and staff awareness. It’s work we do regularly with healthcare and charity clients, including through initiatives like our recent hospice cyber resilience summit.
