Ransomware is leading hospital boards to pour more money into cybersecurity

Ransomware attacks on healthcare providers have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Hospital boards are investing more in cybersecurity resources to combat these attacks. Hackers target hospitals because they have valuable data, financial resources, and less tech-savvy boards. To adapt to ransomware attacks, hospitals should implement layered security measures and use separate communication channels, such as cloud-based clinical collaboration platforms. Training and educating staff about social engineering and phishing are crucial for protecting healthcare organizations from attacks.
