HEALTHCARE
Healthcare is heavily affected by I.T., increasingly more so in today's world. ​Not just in terms of compliance, but in terms of what can happen in the event of a breach. If a hacker gets into the system of a hospital for example; they could shut down key components of that hospital, making the protection of the systems paramount to human life.
​
Small Business - Every kind of healthcare business is prone to this kind of a breach though, and the problem being that some businesses assume that they are too small to become a target to a breach.
Compliance is Complex - The compliance side of things can be very complex too, with key security controls existing within the Healthcare Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act of 2009 (HI-TECH).
