India: DSCI publishes cyber resilience in hospitals report
On November 18, 2024, the Data Security Council of India (DSCI) published a report on cyber resilience in hospitals. The report highlights cybersecurity challenges faced by Indian hospitals and provides key priorities and the tools necessary to bolster their cybersecurity defenses.
What are the key takeaways from the report?
The report states, among other things, that the maximum percentage of hospitals indicates that data privacy is still very niche, and only 10% of hospitals have fully implemented data privacy programs, with most still in the planning stage. However, this number could increase with the introduction of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act.
With respect to cybersecurity, a cyber breach survey conducted across multiple hospitals found that most attacks happen due to a lack of cyber awareness, phishing, cloud vulnerabilities, insider threats, and more. The report concludes by stating that key priorities for hospitals include fortifying data security and privacy, bolstering cyber resilience, refining cyber strategy, and enhancing third-party risk management protocols. Nearly 80% of hospitals have invested in foundational cybersecurity architecture, notably establishing security operations centers.
