Healthcare Resilience in 2025: Uncover the Biggest Obstacles
Cyber resilience is more than just cybersecurity. Healthcare organizations must be able to withstand and recover quickly from cyberattacks, IT disruptions, and compliance risks. At the core of resilience are mission-critical security controls and business applications, the frontline of a healthcare organization’s IT infrastructure. Keeping them operational is essential to protecting patient care and maintaining trust.
Yet, many organizations face persistent challenges. Missing security controls, delayed patching, and the rise of Shadow AI create gaps that weaken resilience. The 2025 Healthcare Resilience Risk Index, based on telemetry from over a million healthcare endpoints, provides critical insights into these risks and outlines actionable steps to strengthen security and ensure rapid recovery.
Key Highlights:
- 15% of healthcare PCs lack required security controls: Missing endpoint protection, vulnerability management, and encryption tools leave devices exposed
- 48-day average delay in patching critical vulnerabilities: While improved from 77 days in 2024, this gap remains a significant security risk
- Unsecured AI usage on healthcare devices: Widespread visits to ChatGPT and other generative AI platforms, some of which are not HIPAA compliant, introduce new data security concerns.
