According to IDC Health Insights 2017, it is predicted that by 2021, the first US$1 million class-action lawsuit against a medical device manufacturer will be filed for negligence due to a cyberattack that led to the death of at least 25 patients connected to a network while in the hospital and the latest example of healthcare facilities falling victim to cyberattacks was the ‘WannaCry’ attack on the National Healthcare System in the UK.

Among the major home field advantages that deception technology provides is that it enables the security defender to quickly identify attackers or policy violations, close the detection gap and shrink dwell time by rapidly detecting the growing number of in-network threats that other security controls miss.
