Focused 100% on IT Service Providers and SMB IT Consultants. The SMB Community Podcast is produced by Karl W. Palachuk and the Small Biz Thoughts Technology Community. Dedicated to the success of every IT professional. Episodes drop every Thursday. Hosts include Karl W. Palachuk, Amy Babinchak, and James Kernan.
Ransomware attacks have surged in recent years; this has led
to significant financial losses, data breaches and operational
disruptions across various sectors. As of 2023, over 72% of
organizations worldwide were affected by ransomware attacks,
according to Statista.
That raises a question as to how malicious actors are able to
successfully carry out these attacks on the majority of
organizations. And one industry that is struggling to handle
ransomware attacks is...healthcare.
In fact, Sophos revealed in its “The State of Ransomware in
Healthcare 2023” report that cybercriminals successfully
encrypted data in nearly 75% of ransomware attacks. This is the
highest rate of encryption in the past three years and a
significant increase from the 61% of healthcare organizations that
reported having their data encrypted last year.
