As cybersecurity threats to healthcare grow in number and severity, artificial intelligence is helping providers detect vulnerabilities and respond to data breaches faster and with greater precision. Given that 63 percent of organizations of all types don't have enough staff to monitor threats 24/7, according to a 2019 Ponemon report, the added defense is crucial. It's arguably even more important for the healthcare industry, whose data is often considered more valuable than Social Security and credit card numbers. As a healthcare tool, AI can help predict falls in seniors and identify early signs of sepsis. It's also poised to shape many other facets, from disease detection to administrative tasks.
