A new report highlights email as an Achilles’ Heel in healthcare cybersecurity. The Paubox report surveyed 150 healthcare IT leaders and found 63% reported data breaches or security incidents involving email in 2024.


Among the types of email security incidents featured in the report are: phishing, password guessing, and man in-the-middle attacks where a hacker secretly relays communications between two parties who believe they are communicating with each other directly.

The report also offers five strategic recommendations to help hospitals ramp up security.
