“From hospitals to #GP clinics, the #tool has been lauded by burnt-out doctors for helping to lighten to back-breaking load.

Dr #BenCondon, who now works for an Australian #HealthTechnology company, first stumbled across #AI during a shift in a rural #WesternAustralian emergency department.

"I was blown away by how much it helped, in terms of giving me an extra set of hands … *writing all my notes*," he said.

But experts have warned there are real #risks: patient #information from #DataBreaches can fetch a pretty penny on the dark web, and the #technology has the potential to generate "#misleading" #information

Are #cybersecurity incidents growing more costly?

Cyentia Institute's recent Information Risk Insights Study points to a 15-fold increase in the cost of #incidents and #databreaches over the last 15 years.

The chart on the left shows the distribution of known/reported financial losses from incidents across the time period of the study. The typical (median) incident costs about $600K, while more extreme (95th percentile) losses swell to $32M. Note that the chart uses a log scale, so the tail of large losses is a lot longer than it appears.

The chart on the right trends the escalating costs of cyber events over time. Median losses from a security incident have absolutely exploded over the last 15 years, rising 15-fold from $190K to almost $3 million! The cost of extreme events has also risen substantially (~5x). So, yeah—cyber events are definitely growing more costly.

That said, this picture looks a lot different among different types and sizes of organizations. How are financial losses and other #cyberrisk factors trending for orgs like yours?

Never trust the #Internet: In aller Regelmäßigkeit häufen sich Fälle, in denen sensible Daten nicht durch #Databreaches an unbefugte Personen gelangen, sondern freiwillig herausgegeben werden. Die #Polizei Brandenburg warnt deshalb aktuell davor, allzu vertrauensseelig im Netz zu agieren:

"Vielmehr nutzte sein kriminelles Gegenüber diese Fotos, um Geldforderung zu erheben und drohte anderenfalls die Veröffentlichung der Bilder an."
