Ransomware Attack on a Mid-Sized Healthcare Provider
A regional healthcare provider experienced a severe ransomware attack that encrypted patient records, halting operations across three facilities. The attackers demanded $500,000 in cryptocurrency. The organization lacked a robust incident response plan and had outdated endpoint protection.
Our cybersecurity team
was engaged to contain the threat. We isolated affected systems, recovered data from clean backups, and performed digital forensics to trace the breach to a phishing email. Post-incident, we implemented a layered security architecture, conducted employee awareness training, and deployed 24/7 SOC monitoring. The organization resumed operations within 48 hours and now maintains a proactive security posture.
