Healthcare Cybersecurity: 2026 Performance in Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals
Brief
How Did Healthcare Perform in Cybersecurity in 2026?
Healthcare and Pharmaceuticals scored 74% for prevention effectiveness in the Picus Blue Report 2026 , nine points below the 83% that made it the top-performing industry a year ago. Prevention effectiveness measures the percentage of simulated attack actions that security controls block, counted across the individual actions that make up each simulated threat.
The figures come from more than 338 million attack simulations that Picus customers ran against their own controls in live production environments between January and June 2026, anonymized and aggregated by Picus Labs.
