White Paper: Securing Healthcare and Big Pharma Companies from Formjacking and Magecart Attacks

Web browsers contain a universal flaw that leaves major healthcare and pharmaceutical companies at risk of exposing personally identifiable information, financial details, and account credentials every time a visitor accesses their websites. This flaw prevents website owners from controlling what data can be accessed by their website supply-chain vendors and, when those vendors are compromised, allows hackers unlimited access to their visitors’ experience and information.

Every website is susceptible to this attack vector as no component of traditional security programs can prevent client-side attacks perpetrated via JavaScript. Despite the rising threat, the vast majority of hospitals and physicians are unprepared to handle cybersecurity threats, even though they pose a major public health problem. This threat briefing is intended to raise awareness of this universal flaw and introduce preventative measures that may be taken.
