“The Sixth Annual Benchmark Study on Privacy and Security of Healthcare Data by the Ponemon Institute, finds that criminal attacks are the leading cause of half of all data breaches in healthcare.  Employee mistakes, third-party snafus, and stolen computer devices—are the root cause of the other half of data breaches. The study also found that while most healthcare organizations believe they are vulnerable to a data breach, they are unprepared to address new threats and lack the resources to protect patient data.”
