Cyberattacks are a serious threat to healthcare operations, and they’ve become increasingly common over the past five years. The sector is still recovering from the February attack on UnitedHealth-owned technology vendor Change Healthcare. The cyberattack snarled key tasks like billing, eligibility checks, prior authorization requests and prescription fulfillment.
