A BitSight report reveals security effectiveness in the health care industry lags far behind other sectors such as utilities or finance.
The health care and pharmaceuticals sector has many of the same characteristics as the retail sector, including a high volume of security incidents and slow response times, according to a report from BitSight Technologies. The average rating in the health care industry was 660. Like the retail sector, the spread in performance across the industry is large, indicating that there are many companies that are seriously underperforming.
BitSight Security Ratings range from 250 to 900, with higher ratings equating to higher security performance. Industry ratings are calculated using a simple average of the security ratings of companies in that sector, a company statement explained.
