Mitigating Biotech-Startup Cyberattacks

Biological and medical information is more valuable than other types of data; health information on the black market is worth 300x that of credit card details. Big Data and Machine Learning have accelerated early-stage/emerging life-science organizations’ capabilities of obtaining investor attention – while also making that sector one of the most targeted for cyber criminals. Biotech startups rely on health information collected from research collaborators, internet-connected medical devices, research laboratories and other provider sources to advance their initiatives. Threat actors continue to expose vulnerabilities, successfully hijacking data sources and other repositories – threatening exposure.
