We reached out to six healthcare executives for their trends and predictions on healthcare cybersecurity and ransomware to watch in 2022. A recent Ponemon Institute report found that ransomware attacks on healthcare providers can lead to increased mortality, and the first ransomware-related fatality in the U.S.
But that doesn't absolve healthcare organizations in the private sector from their own responsibilities as phishing campaigns proliferate , ransomware attacks reach a fever pitch and nation state actors take aim at the COVID-19vaccine supply chain , he said.
Ransomware, phishing attacks, business applications and third-party vendors will be some of the biggest threats to this key vertical as we approach the new year. Threat actors were able to create fake websites pretending to be pharma companies offering COVID-19vaccines, and then steal credentials when users attempted to sign in.
"Lexington Medical Center applied those lessons in agility when, later in the year, we were tasked with providing IT solutions for mobile COVID-19 testing sites, and then mobile COVID-19vaccination sites," he recalled. We worked closely with the care team to make sure we understood all requirements.
