Tips to Shorten Healthcare's Cybersecurity Learning Curve

Healthcare organizations are paying much more attention to cybersecurity in recent months, especially after Change Healthcare experienced a ransomware attack that debilitated its systems and disrupted claims payments nationwide, and as Ascension has been digging out from its own cyber event for weeks.Clearly, for organizations large and small, the cybersecurity learning curve remains challenging – even as the threats become more sophisticated and insidious.For instance, advances in persistent threat attack vectors have made nearly all endpoint detection and response systems vulnerable to at least one EDR evasion technique, according to Ricardo Villadiego, CEO of cybersecurity firm Lumu.There are numerous ways that a threat actor may launch a successful attack without raising suspicions. While some of EDRs may log these attempts, "logs do not necessarily trigger alerts," he told Healthcare IT News.
