The 2024 Change Healthcare breach marked a turning point for the healthcare industry. It exposed critical vulnerabilities in current data governance and security practices, underscoring that no organization — regardless of size or resources — is immune to cyber threats. A year later, it's clear that while some progress has been made, there is still much to be done to protect patient data and ensure continuity of care. The breach served as a wake-up call for the healthcare industry. It shattered the illusion of security that many organizations held and reinforced a hard truth: no one is 100% safe from cyberattacks. To address this reality, organizations must adopt a resilience mindset, focusing not just on prevention but also on preparation for inevitable incidents.
