Ransomware in the Healthcare Cloud

Release Date: 09/15/2021

Ransomware is the fastest-growing malware threat today. Over the last few years, it has risen to epidemic proportions, quickly becoming a significant revenue stream for criminal enterprises. Ransomware directly affects the ability of the Healthcare Delivery Organization (HDO) to access their data. Ransomware attacks, to complicate matters, cause more than a simple outage. They can attack the backup infrastructure. So, it’s not just about restoring from a backup; HDOs need to ensure that they recover from an uninfected backup. To add to the problem, healthcare data in cloud storage is not immune to ransomware. However, cloud storage can give you a significant advantage with data protection due to the number of flexible recovery options.
