The Growing Threat of Cyberattacks: How to Better Protect Your ASC

The number of cyberattacks is on the rise, and ASCs are increasingly finding themselves the targets of cybercriminals. A successful attack can be devastating. IBM calculated the average cost of a data breach is about $4.5 million — up 15% over just the past three years. It can take hundreds of days to identify and successfully contain an attack. Beyond the financial pain, a cyberattack can wreak havoc on an ASC's operations and reputation.
