AI/ML and deep-learning technologies are transforming diagnoses and healthcare delivery. Likewise, advanced technologies that leverage AI/ML concepts are also transforming IT security services that can bring quicker threat detection and mitigation, increased productivity, and the ability to perform sophisticated tasks with fewer staff or extend the capabilities of junior security staff members. The many promising advantages these technologies bring will prove crucial to healthcare organizations confronting stiff competition for workers at a time when the healthcare industry faces a narrowing cybersecurity talent gap. According to the report:
Organizations that leverage AI and automation can detect and contain breaches 27% quicker than those without.
Organizations with no security AI/automation took an average of 239 days to identify a breach and another 85 days to contain it.

Earlier this year, Fortified Health Security released the 2022 Horizon Report – revealing how, as the industry continues to recover from the pandemic's grasp, cybercriminals continued to relentlessly target and attack providers, health plans and their business associates. The report explored how federal and state regulatory agencies along with cyber insurance companies are taking notice of breaches and the increasing number of ransomware attacks in the healthcare industry, adopting comprehensive cybersecurity policies and procedures that increase compliance and mitigation costs.
Fortified Health Security's 2022 Mid-Year Horizon Report builds on that guidance, while aiming to predict the short-term future of cybersecurity in healthcare. The full report is available for download here.
