From ransomware to RansomOps: What you need to know about the newest threat

Ransomware attacks have evolved into targeted, human-driven operations known as RansomOps. These attacks are sophisticated, quick, and unpredictable, bypassing traditional security tools. Healthcare organizations are particularly vulnerable to these attacks, with significant disruptions and potential harm to patient care. To protect against RansomOps, healthcare CIOs and CISOs should adopt a mindset shift, implement strong cyber-resilience policies, invest in training and security architecture, and establish a company culture that understands and mitigates cyber risks. It’s crucial for boards to be aware of the risks and impacts of RansomOps and actively participate in cybersecurity discussions.
