![Healthcare is the most targeted industry for phishing attacks, averaging $9.23 million per incident.](https://www.jerichosecurity.com/hubfs/Untitled%20presentation%20(10).png)

The healthcare industry faces an unprecedented challenge as it becomes the most targeted sector for phishing attacks. To safeguard against phishing in healthcare, protect sensitive patient data and maintain the trust of patients and stakeholders, healthcare organizations must prioritize strengthening their cybersecurity defenses.
