Protecting Healthcare Organizations from the Devastating Impacts of Ransomware

Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDOs) are the largest and most lucrative target for ransomware attacks in the world. Owing to the sensitive nature of the devices healthcare delivery organizations rely on, and the proximity to patient care of those devices, malicious actors have targeted HDOs for being more likely to pay ransomware demands to ensure continuity of patient care. Securing the healthcare environment from cyberattacks is more important than ever.

A complicating factor for cybersecurity efforts is the massive uptick in connectivity in healthcare environments. Due in part to accelerated digital transformation efforts in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, more of the healthcare environment is connected than ever before, from the computers used for intake to medical carts to smartphones and laptops, even the HVAC system or building management systems.

This white paper will delve into the true impact of cyberwarfare in healthcare, navigating the ever-growing threat of ransomware attacks, and provide a guide for building a better, safer, and more proactive approach to cybersecurity to protect your organization and patients.
