In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, offensive security has emerged as a crucial strategy for organizations, particularly in the healthcare sector as it continues to be a focused target of digital threats due to sensitive patient data.

Our healthcare industry report presents a comprehensive analysis of the current offensive security trends, drawn from the Ponemon Institute’s 2023 State of Offensive Security Report, and is based on the responses of 100 participants representing healthcare organizations – 15% of the total sample. Note: these organizations represent those who self-reported as having mature security programs and who conduct offensive security testing.

Our analysis shows that healthcare organizations with mature security programs are diligently taking proactive measures to identify and address potential vulnerabilities. These organizations should be looked to as prime examples in the industry for effectively combating modern adversaries.

The report is designed with a dual objective:

• Equip healthcare security leaders with a deep understanding of the current offensive security practices prevalent in their sector
• Underscore the vital elements that should be integral to their security strategies, ensuring robust protection against evolving cybersecurity threats
