Europe Patch and Remediation Software Market Outlook

In Europe there have been a number of high profile government initiatives to spur the digital health system. According to UK's National Health Service (NHS), the usage of digital healthcare services soared in 2020, according to data compiled by NHS Digital.

The healthcare industry has become one of the most targeted sectors for cyber-attacks, due to increasing usage of healthcare related software and applications. These software and application store confidential and personal information of patients, doctors and staff. Data stolen from the medical industry includes information related to patients, their medical history, bills, and other records, which can be misused by cyber criminals to create fake IDs for claiming insurance or additional gains.

Moreover, due to the increased usage of various software and applications like remote patient monitoring, healthcare information system (HIS), and others in the healthcare industry, the data protection become critical. The information is stored on cloud which do not offer appropriate security, and are prone to viruses and cyber-attacks.

Thus, to combat such cyber threats, many healthcare organizations are adopting patch and remediation software for regularly updating the software and applications and to prevent the critical information of patients and staff.
