The lessons learned from analyzing breaches in 2020 has underlined the need for healthcare providers to double-down on security. The recent Colonial Pipeline attack has, once again, demonstrated the vulnerability of US corporations to ransomware attacks and the significant impact to patients, businesses and our communities.
In a recent Briefings from HIPAA article, I was asked to weigh in on the 2021 Breach Barometer from Protenus. There certainly is progress being made, there are a few key takeaways from this and the latest attack for healthcare IT leaders to be aware of:
The recent Colonial Pipeline attack has elevated national impact due to the role of Colonial in the US critical infrastructure. Likewise, the over 400 hospitals and thousands of healthcare sites where CereCore provides IT services are also a component of the US critical infrastructure.
