Cybersecurity: a critical challenge for healthcare organizations

As medical data becomes increasingly digital, cybersecurity has moved from a technical concern to a strategic imperative. Healthcare organizations, as custodians of highly sensitive information, are now prime targets for cyberattacks.

In France, 30 hospitals were hit by ransomware attacks between 2022 and 2023, accounting for 10% of all incidents reported to ANSSI.

Globally, 67% of healthcare organizations have suffered at least one ransomware attack over the past year.

In 2024 alone, 181 ransomware attacks targeting healthcare institutions compromised more than 25 million patient records.

Beyond data protection, cybersecurity has a direct impact on continuity of care, team performance, and patient trust.

Key challenges include:

– Protecting patient data

Confidentiality, integrity, and availability of medical information are essential to patient safety and regulatory compliance (GDPR, HDS).

– Ensuring continuity and reliability of care

A compromised or unavailable system can bring medical operations to a standstill. Secure solutions help ensure care delivery remains uninterrupted, even in the face of growing threats.

– Improving performance and organization

Centralized workflows, smart alerts, and reduced administrative burden allow healthcare teams to focus on what matters most: the patient—while strengthening coordination across departments.

– Building awareness and a strong digital culture

Cybersecurity isn’t just about technology. It’s also about people. Teams must be trained, risk-aware, and guided by best practices.

At Inlog, we support healthcare organizations in deploying secure digital solutions that comply with HDS and ISO 27001 standards—helping safeguard patient data and ensure reliable care pathways.

Cybersecurity is no longer just a regulatory requirement. It’s a cornerstone of digital transformation, a trust-builder, and a powerful performance driver for healthcare institutions.
