In this ever-evolving threat landscape, healthcare companies must prioritize building robust cybersecurity strategies.

Cyber threats can originate from anywhere around the globe. For services such as managed detection and response (MDR) to effectively defend against them requires a managed security service provider (MSSP) that likewise has a global footprint. The top 10 countries from which distributed denial-of-service attacks (DDoS) originate include China, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Russia, and Germany, according to data collected by the cloud services company Cloudflare.
