Headlines about cybersecurity attacks at Canadian hospitals have highlighted the potential for breaches to threaten an already vulnerable health care system. The advent of online doctors’ visits, the digitization of patient data, and health-adjacent apps being widely adopted by consumers means Canadian health care data is more vulnerable than ever before.
