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.
