A new survey of health care executives shows most organizations are underprepared for AI-powered cyberattacks and blind to software supply chain vulnerabilities — even as breaches and business impacts rise.
Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT issue — it's now a core business challenge for health care organizations.
In LevelBlue's 2025 Spotlight Report: Cyber Resilience and Business Impact in Healthcare, based on a global survey of 1,500 executives including 220 in health care, nearly half of health care leaders (46%) said their organizations are facing a significantly higher volume of cyberattacks than a year ago.
More than one in four (32%) experienced a breach in the past 12 months. But despite increasing awareness and investment, most say they're unprepared for the evolving threat landscape — especially attacks powered by artificial intelligence (AI).
The report offers a snapshot of a health care sector at a turning point: cybersecurity teams are getting more aligned with the business, but blind spots remain — especially in the software supply chain and employee preparedness.
LevelBlue's report makes it clear that physicians and practice leaders must treat cybersecurity as a strategic imperative, not a siloed IT concern. The next attack won't wait for your next budget cycle.
