Information technology is a profession and industry on its own, but IT services and products are integral to the workings of essentially every industry. Unethical behavior by IT personnel or hackers can bring entire industries to a halt, either delaying services or shutting down operations. For example, hospitals and the health-care industry are making a push to digitize patient care and medical records. Paper documentation is falling by the wayside. If medical databases are compromised, vital medical data may virtually disappear, adversely affecting the delivery of patient care. Many vital industries have data backup plans in place, but downtime can deal a crippling financial blow.
