Healthcare Read time: < 4 minutes 4 Almost three quarters of security incidents in healthcare in 2015 involved physical theft and loss, insider and privilege misuse and miscellaneous errors. While breach data was typically compromised in minutes or less, discovery often took months or more. The Verizon 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) shows that the majority of data security incidents can be classified into one of nine patterns. Just three of these categories account for 73% of all healthcare data security incidents. Physical theft and loss made up the largest share of all incidents in healthcare, at 32% of the total. This is a bigger problem for healthcare than for any other sector we analyzed this year. We'll look at these threats in greater depth and at how you can improve your defenses against them. The Data Breach Investigations Report is the most comprehensive report of its kind. For the ninth time, it pulls together incident data from around the world, to reveal what's really happening in cybersecurity. The 2016 DBIR provides insights based on over 100,000 incidents from 82 countries, including 2,260 analyzed data breaches.
