The UAE and MENA healthcare sectors, worth over USD 99 billion, is undergoing rapid digitalisation, from AI-powered diagnostics to smart hospitals. However, with innovation comes vulnerability. A sharp increase in ransomware attacks, data breaches, and device hacking is putting patient safety and trust at risk. According to a recent study, more than 70% of UAE hospitals lack basic cybersecurity controls, and the scale of threats continues to escalate.
