- A single insider-driven data breach can cost a healthcare organization an average of $13.1M, underscoring the high financial stakes of poor data security.
- Over half of healthcare organizations lack confidence in their ability to retrieve data quickly for legal or regulatory needs, with many still relying on outdated manual compliance processes.
- While 80% of healthcare organizations are concerned about data leaks through generative AI tools, fewer than half have put formal AI usage policies in place.
Healthcare organizations are facing an unprecedented convergence of insider threats, compliance gaps, and AI-driven risks that put patient data, and millions of dollars, on the line. This infographic breaks down the most pressing cybersecurity challenges of 2026, backed by data from the State of Human Risk 2026 Report.
