The impact of COVID-19 on the healthcare cybersecurity market is observed to be positive. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, there were increasing cyberattacks against clinical trial databases, virtual care platforms, diagnostic systems and remote patient monitoring devices. As the healthcare industry adopts remote and teleworking modes, the prospect of remote users using personal equipment and residential internet connections that lack cybersecurity may leave them vulnerable to malicious cyberattacks. In addition, the rising number of data breaches has raised concerns about cyber security and the necessity for it. Additionally, the COVID-19 phishing attack went viral, augmenting demand for cyber protection in the healthcare industry.
 

Healthcare cybersecurity companies offer cyber security services and solutions to healthcare organizations to protect their hospital and patient information from cyber-attacks and data breaches. Cybersecurity, also known as information security, is the practice of ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data. Cybersecurity is a risk management approach, software, and technologies designed to protect networks, devices, healthcare data, programs from data theft, digital attacks, or unauthorized access. The high availability of advanced healthcare cybersecurity solutions in the market.  
 

Rising cases of healthcare cyber-attacks worldwide will drive the market expansion

The increasing cases of healthcare cyber-attacks across the globe are one of the major factors that is fueling the healthcare cybersecurity market progression. For instance, according to the IBM, in 2021, the average overall cost of a healthcare data breach surged by 29.5 percent from USD 7.13 million in 2020 to USD 9.23 million in 2021. Similarly, as per Health IT Security data, 190,000 HealthEquity customers' data was leaked in 2018. Medical data that is shared across a large network is vulnerable to ransomware and virus attacks. As a result, healthcare professionals are adopting improved healthcare cybersecurity solutions to boost data security.
 

Ransomware segment to dominate the healthcare cybersecurity market demand

The ransomware segment held 22.4% of the market share in 2020 led by the rising cases of data breaches caused by the use of malicious software. Ransomware is popular among hackers because it encrypts valuable data and grants access to unauthorized users. In addition, when a hospital's system is hacked by ransomware, access to patient data is denied, which can lead to complications.
 

Increasing awareness about network security will foster the market value
