Healthcare
Like many industries, healthcare has become increasingly reliant on the Internet. These days, many applications are now web-based and delivered as software-as-a-service. Patients can view their information and records by visiting a secure portal. And some healthcare businesses like online pharmacies are entirely web-based. But unlike other industries, when a critical healthcare application is compromised by a DDoS attack, the ramifications are much more severe. While there may well be financial losses, there could potentially also be loss of life if mission-critical applications and systems are brought down by a DDoS attack for hours or even days.
Fortunately, many healthcare organizations are cognizant of these risks and have taken steps to guard against them. It is certainly prudent to have a monitoring and mitigation plan in place and rely on a specialist DDoS provider – one who you know will be able to mitigate any attack, regardless of size, complexity or changing characteristics. For these reasons, many healthcare organizations trust Prolexic.
