How Vulnerable is Your Industry to Cyber Crime?
Any company harboring sensitive customer data could become a target of a sophisticated cyber attacker.
That being said, certain industries are still more vulnerable to attacks.
Let’s take a look at 4 of the most vulnerable industries:
FinancialServices
Healthcare Insurance Retail
1. Financial Services Attacks
*Data Source: Websense Security Labs Report
Financial services and banking companies are 300%* more likely to experience a data breach than the average company.
*Data Source: Websense Security Labs Report
33%* of all lure-stage attacks (phishing and other social engineering) are launched against financial services.
Cyber insurance is often used as an excuse not to upgrade security systems in the finance industry - so make sure your network defenses are prepared for sophisticated attacks.
2. Healthcare Cyber Crime
*Data Source: Websense Security Labs Report
Since electronic health records (EHRs) came onto the scene in 2009, breaches of healthcare systems have cost the industry $50 billion and compromised 94 million records*.
*Data Source: Websense Security Labs Report
Healthcare is 400%* more likely than average to be targeted by advanced malware attacks.
*Data Source: Websense Security Labs Report
The healthcare sector is 74% more likely to be impacted by phishing schemes such as FakeBank.
3. The Insurance Industry
The insurance industry may not have as many cyber security reports available, but that doesn’t mean cyber crime isn’t targeting it...
In 2015 alone, health insurance providers* Anthem and Premera experienced data breaches resulting in 100 million compromised personally identifiable information (PII) files.

4. The Retail Industry
The retail industry has been the target of some of the most devastating data breaches in history - including Target and Home Depot.
*Data Source: IBM Security
Cyber attack volume has dropped significantly, but breaches of 10 million or more records increased by 43% between 2013 and 2014.
*Data Source: IBM Security
In 2014, retail data breaches resulted in over61 million compromised records - fewer than 2013, but still a near record high.
Why No Industry is Immune to Data Breaches
Whether you’re in a high-target industry or increasingly vulnerable industries such as energy or education, you could be the next target of an attack.
The key to modern cyber security is not to shy away from the danger - but to attack problems head on.
