Cyber challenges in the healthcare sector
Healthcare organisations are among the most targeted in the world, handling sensitive data that cannot afford to be compromised.
Digitalisation of patient records and clinical data means healthcare providers must take robust measures to protect sensitive information from breaches and unauthorised access.
Due to the data they hold, healthcare organisations are prime targets for cyber-attacks and must have the right protocols in place to detect, prevent and respond to threats.
Healthcare organisations must comply with a wide range of regulatory security standards, adding significant pressure to already stretched IT and operational teams.
Healthcare providers face the unique challenge of balancing physical and online security, with increasing pressure to protect digital services without disrupting patient care.

Pharmacy2U
Founder
WorkNest Secure stand out in the field of penetration testing due to the skillset of people they have working there. We undertook a complex bespoke pentest with them, which required a lot of pre-work in order to make sure it was scoped correctly, and they took the time to come onsite to make sure all was correct prior to commencing.
From my experience with them, they are very intelligent people with a deep understanding of the security landscape, and we will continue to use them for future testing requirements.
