It never ends!
This is why you have to spend more on IT services than ever before. If it can happen to hospitals and large medical groups, with all the rules and regulations they have, then it can happen to you!
The bad guys will spare NO EXPENSE to get you. And they will. They'll never stop.
Unless you accept the fact that cyber defense spending is a journey, not a destination. If you are behind, then it's a good idea to spend to catch up. If you are "current" in your defense, you may have some incremental upgrades needed because the bad guys already know how to beat you with what you have. The game has changed. It's not just about tech support and fixing computers. That's weak for the hackers and there's no money in it. It's all about stealing your most precious assets.
It's a cat and mouse game. We have token theft, and conditional access rules to consider now.
They just need to get through to ONE of your users, and it's game over.
The bad guys will do anything to win. What about you?
Lurie Children's Hospital experienced a cyber incident on January 31st and announced to the public of the incident on February 4th.
There have not been many updates about the nature of the event, whether a ransom has been requested, or if patient information was exposed.
Here are a few "need to know" facts regarding the event.
What does this mean for small businesses?
Gear up now.
You are never too small for cyber protection and are at a greater risk than major hospitals and large businesses that have the proper structures in place already.
Don't wait until it is too late.
