Operational Resilience in Healthcare & Zscaler Uncovers Record-Breaking Ransom - Marty Momdjian, Brett Stone-Gross - ESW #372 Aug 17, 2024

Show notes

Many cybersecurity experts are calling recent attacks on healthcare more sophisticated than ever. One attack disrupted prescription drug orders for over a third of the U.S. and has cost $1.5 billion in incident response and recovery services. Separately, an operator of over 140 hospitals and senior care facilities in the U.S. was also victimized. These attacks are becoming all too common. Disruptions can lead to life-and-death situations with massive impacts on patient care. All industries, especially healthcare, have to better prepare for ransomware attacks. Are you ready to turn the tables on threat actors? Marty Momdjian, Semperis EVP and General Manager provides advice on how hospitals can regain the upper hand.

As security monitoring has gotten more mature over the years, remediating security vulnerabilities is still stuck in the dark ages requiring mountains of CVE reports and thousands of manual tasks to be done by network engineers at the wee hours of the nights and weekends. Cyber resilience requires a more continuous approach to remediation, one that does not depend on manual work but also one that can be trusted not to cause outages.
