Cyberattacks of all kinds are on the increase with no signs of slowing down. In the U.S. alone, cyberattacks increased from 2021 to 2022 by 57%. The top three industries with the highest increase in attacks from 2021 to 2022 are Education/Research (+43%); Government/Military (+46%); and Healthcare (+74%).

Ransomware, malware that blocks access to data, or publicizes confidential information, unless a ransom is paid, is both an industry and a business model that is working. Protected health information (PHI) is worth a lot of money and the healthcare industry is frequently accessing and sharing PHI remotely among multiple entities which increases opportunities for attacks. Our speaker will walk you through a ransomware attack case study and offer steps you can take to protect yourself from an attack.
