The prevalence of consolidation, coupled with a 643% increase in double extortion ransomware attacks in the healthcare industry, has put an even greater focus on cybersecurity before, during, and long after M&A transactions have completed. Zero trust architecture is now a critical consideration to simplify the cost and lift of integrating healthcare facilities.

A zero trust architecture securely connects everything, improves the user experience, and lowers the operational burden while preventing cyber threats. Connecting and securing data flow quickly, accurately, and safely is critical to M&A value. The integration process must streamline application access across the environment to be fully operational in days or weeks versus months or quarters.
