Healthcare Cyber Security: A Leaky Umbrella in a Hurricane or How Not to Feed Cyber Stray Cats
“Ransomware Attack Healthcare Trends” are painting a grim picture, with data encrypted in 75% of attacks. Like a leaky umbrella in a hurricane, the healthcare industry’s data protection is struggling. It’s high time to beef up digital defense, because as we know, in the realm of cybercrime, a stitch in time saves nine!
Hot Take:
Dear healthcare industry, your data protection game, to put it mildly, is like a leaky umbrella in a hurricane. Sophos is pointing out that ransomware attacks are increasing, and the bad guys are winning more often, encrypting data in 75% of attacks. If that wasn't enough, the time to detect these attacks is shrinking faster than a cheap cotton shirt in a hot wash. Time to buckle up and beef up your digital defence!Key Points:
- Cybercriminals successfully encrypted data in nearly 75% of ransomware attacks on healthcare organizations, the highest in the last three years.
- Only 24% of these organizations could disrupt the attack before data encryption, showing a decline in their ability to fend off cyberattacks.
- The "double dip" method is on the rise, with data being stolen in 37% of successful ransomware attacks.
- The number of healthcare organizations paying ransoms has declined from 61% to 42% within a year.
- Improved defenses and reduced response times are necessary to combat the growing threat of ransomware attacks.
