In its second annual Velocity healthcare data breach report, Stern Security has critically analyzed over 5,000 data breaches since the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) began tracking the information in 2009. Stern Security utilized data from their HealthcareBreaches.com website as well as published information from HHS to create this comprehensive study. Stern Security augmented the HHS data by investigating each breach in 2022 to fully understand the cause of the incident.
This report shows critical insights into healthcare breach trends over the past 13 years. It covers everything from the number of breaches attributed to ransomware to the number attributed to third-parties (business associates). This year, Stern Security has added a new breach categorization – the number of breaches due to analytics software including Meta (Facebook) Pixel. Once again, a new breach record was established with more healthcare breaches occurring in 2022 than any previous year. This report puts forth a detailed analysis.

The 2022 Triangle InfoSeCon event hosted by Raleigh’s ISSA was on September 9th, 2022. To a full crowd, Stern Security‘s Founder & CEO, Jon Sternstein, gave a presentation titled: “Break Down Silos & Secure the Planet”.
The presentation abstract was the following:
People tend to cluster in their own silos and tribes in both society and within companies. We have seen the dangers of lack of communication between individuals with different viewpoints play out between nations, states, politics, and more. This siloed mindset also occurs within companies and industries and can lead to massive cybersecurity issues.
This presentation will discuss the importance of breaking down silos. Technical stories will be shared of large security vulnerabilities that we have discovered that would have been prevented if the company’s employees and contractors did not operate in silos. We’ll also discuss some hacks to break out of your own silos, hack impostor syndrome, infiltrate executive ranks, and secure the planet.
Jon Sternstein’s presentation was an important lesson on working together to secure companies and to have a stronger society. Secure the Planet!
