Health IT Infrastructure to Combat Growing Ransomware Threats.

As the healthcare is named the top ransomware targeted industry, organizations must consider secure email and threat intelligence infrastructure security solutions. Healthcare organizations are set to adopt anti-ransomware software and services as the threat of ransomware continues to be a top health IT security threat. The latest Markets and Markets research predicts that the ransomware protection market will grow to reach $17.36 billion by 2021 across all major industries. Ransomware installs on a victim's computer and holds secure data hostage by locking out legitimate users until a ransom is paid. The report suggests that the healthcare vertical will experience the most ransomware attacks over the next four years. The push for rapid digitization of medical records makes healthcare organizations more vulnerable to ransomware attacks.
