How big of an impact can cyberattacks have on the healthcare sector? The truth is, it can be quite staggering. In fact, recent ransomware attacks on Thanksgiving Day 2023 interrupted dozens of facilities operated by Ardent Health Services, including emergency care and telehealth appointments. These continued attacks can be debilitating for anyone, but especially for healthcare organizations like yours.
That’s because small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) across the healthcare sector are now facing tighter budgets and major resource challenges. So, how can you protect yourself and build an effective cybersecurity strategy? The best way is to seek outside help. However, most outsourced cybersecurity solutions on the market aren’t designed for operations like yours. They’re built for larger enterprises with complexities and price tags that are way out of reach for SMBs.
There are more affordable managed security options that can bring resource-strapped healthcare organizations the services of a fully managed, purpose-built cybersecurity solution backed by a human-led 24/7 Security Operations Center (SOC).
