6 Segurança cibernética da saúde, previsões de ransomware para assistir em 2022

Entramos em contato com seis executivos de saúde por suas tendências e previsões sobre segurança cibernética e ransomware para assistir em 2022.

Milan Shah, diretor de tecnologia da Biofourmis

Cyberattacks on hospitals and health systems will continue their rapid pace in 2022, but as more providers launch hospitals at home and remote patient management programs and the technology has to traverse enterprise firewall boundaries, it provides attackers an extensive new surface area to attack. The best defense against these will be to choose and implement technical solutions that have the highest degree of secure communications between the patient-facing part of the solution and the backend systems they communicate with.

Leon Lerman, co-fundador e CEO da Cynerio

Enquanto ataques cibernéticos à infraestrutura crítica - como o oleoduto colonial e uma fábrica de água da Flórida - criaram muito burburinho este ano, no ano passado, vimos um aumento de 123% no número de ataques de ransomware ao setor de saúde - uma tendência que, infelizmente, infelizmentecontinuou a atormentar o setor de saúde ao longo de 2021.Pior ainda, ataques a hospitais se tornaram mortais.Um relatório recente do Ponemon Institute constatou que ataques de ransomware aos profissionais de saúde podem levar ao aumento da mortalidade e a primeira fatalidade relacionada a ransomware no U.S.foi relatado recentemente no Springhill Medical Center, com sede no Alabama.

As we head into 2022, it is likely we will see an increase in both the sheer number of attacks on hospitals as well as severity. It will be critical for hospitals to have proactive response strategies in place to prevent attacks and ensure continuity of care in the event of an attack. Additionally, more government intervention is needed – as has been the case for cyber attacks like that on Colonial Pipeline – to ensure hospitals are prepared with the tools they need to address the evolving threat landscape in healthcare. It could be the difference between life or death.
