IT security in the healthcare sector

IT security in the healthcare sector is becoming increasingly important, as the healthcare industry is also increasingly becoming the focus of cyberattacks. According to a study, the global healthcare industry lost almost 350 billion US dollars in revenue between 2019 and 2023 due to cyberattacks. However, it is not only lost revenue that makes successful cybersecurity in healthcare indispensable. Patient safety is far more relevant. After all, modern cloud solutions and networked IT have long been an integral part of everyday practice and hospital life and an essential component of an efficient healthcare system. For example, networked IT controls vital machines and processes - including in intensive care units and operating theaters. That is why Deutsche Telekom pursues a strict zero-defect culture for the best cyber security in the healthcare sector.
