Healthcare Organizations Urged to Adopt AI Tools to Combat Cyber Threats
At the Infosecurity Europe conference, experts highlighted the urgent need for healthcare organizations (HCOs) to adopt AI-powered tools to better manage and mitigate cyber threats. Sher Baig, CEO of Cyber Salus, emphasized that the healthcare sector is particularly vulnerable due to legacy infrastructure and hyper-connectivity, which increase the risk of cyber-attacks. According to Proofpoint research, 93% of HCOs experienced at least one cyber-attack in 2025, with an average of 43 attacks per organization. The reliance on outdated medical equipment, which can remain in use for 15 to 20 years, exacerbates the issue. Baig argued that reactive security measures are insufficient and that AI can help by providing continuous monitoring, faster anomaly detection, and automated threat prioritization.
