How Healthcare Becomes a Ransomware Target

Bypassing Defenses

Ransomware can bypass traditional security, by social engineering or exploiting vulnerabilities in medical systems like EHRs and diagnostic tools.

68%

of ransomware attacks in healthcare were caused by compromised credentials and exploited vulnerabilities

Unpatched Systems

Legacy IT systems that can’t be easily updated or patched, leaving critical patient data and operational systems vulnerable.

83%

of healthcare organizations use legacy systems that are vulnerable to cyberattacks.

Expanded Attack Surface

Medical devices, BYOD and patient data systems, provide multiple entry points for cybercriminals.

41%

of ransomware attacks in healthcare exploit vulnerabilities in medical devices or connected systems.

The Impact

In recent years, ransomware attacks have severely impacted the healthcare sector, with over 500 successful attacks compromising the records of more than 52 million patients.

Patient Care Impact

Critical IT systems like electronic health records (EHR), medical equipment, and operating rooms can be locked, leading to treatment delays, cancellations, and misdiagnoses.

Exposed Patient Data

Cybercriminals exploit patient data for profit, leaving individuals feeling exposed and betrayed by the very healthcare providers entrusted with their care.

Financial & Operational Impact

Ransomware attacks can cripple healthcare networks for an average of 21 days, costing up to $10.1 million in ransom payments, recovery costs, operational downtime, and HIPAA-related fines. Healthcare providers that contain and recover from an attack within 24 hours have historically reduced their financial impact by 50%.

What would a ransomware attack cost you?

Calculate Cost

Prevention alone is no longer enough. Ransomware has advanced, and healthcare is a prime target. It’s critical to focus on how quickly you can contain an attack once it breaks through to reduce patient care impact and be resilient.

What is Ransomware Resilience?

Ransomware resilience is the ability to prevent, contain, and respond to ransomware attacks, minimizing damage and ensuring rapid recovery of data and operations to maintain business continuity.

Prevention

Reduce the risk of disruptions to operations, which can be costly and damaging to productivity.

Containment

Minimize the impact to business operations when ransomware gets through, and significantly reduce recovery efforts.

Recovery

Resilient organizations recover quickly to limit operational downtime and return stronger.
