‘Interfering’ with hackers before they can disrupt or steal

Healthcare cybersecurity has historically focused on treating symptoms rather than prevention, but an emerging approach called Proactive Threat Interference (PTI) is seeking to change that. PTI focuses on neutralizing cyberattacks before they reach the network, rather than responding after an attack has occurred. This approach shifts the balance of power from attackers to defenders and reduces disruptions to business operations. PTI allows organizations to control the attacker’s experience and limit incident response frequency.
