Cyber Breach in healthcare firms jumped 60% in January-September

Cyberattacks by trojans and hijackers surged by over 80%.

Threat detection in healthcare organizations increased by 60% for the first three quarters of the year compared to 2018, according to a report by malware solutions company Malwarebyte.

Trojans, hijackers and riskware each surged by over 80% from Q2 to Q3.

Healthcare is currently the seventh-most targeted industry by cybercriminals, the report said. An aging infrastructure and low IT budget allocation meant that healthcare institutions are highly risked of attracting cyber breach, said Malwarebyte. Healthcare companies may suffer from exposure of patient data, as well as compromised medical equipment and information. Such consequences found by the research underline the importance of prioritizing cybersecurity in platform design rather than being added as an afterthought.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
