Dirty Encryption: The Scourge of Healthcare Ransomware

Wednesday, September 25 at 1 p.m. ET/ 10 a.m. PT

Not all encryption is meant to protect your data; sometimes, it can be used against you to hold your systems hostage. One use of encryption that has been wreaking havoc on healthcare networks is ransomware.

Ransomware, which can seize patient files and lock up critical communications until a ransom is paid, continues to be on the rise in 2019 with business costs skyrocketing more than $75 billion per year (Source: Datto). The effects of ransomware are deep and wide – impacting not only business costs, but patient safety and trust in your brand. With 75% of companies infected with ransomware running up-to-date endpoint protection, it’s on more than just your end users to protect your data (Source: Sophos).
