The New Normal – Diagnosing the Challenges of Telehealth

In response to the pandemic and with rapid adoption of Telehealth, many healthcare organizations are struggling with effective deployment of this new patient care approach. Many have had to adapt to work-from-home and remote patient care overnight to support the needs of social distancing, while continuing to serve patients and protect critical data from outside threats.

Healthcare organizations are experiencing the increased sophistication of ransomware perpetrators – increasingly targeting healthcare organizations with larger extortion demands and highly disruptive attacks that can bring IT and operational systems to a halt. It comes as no surprise that the uptick of these attacks has assisted many healthcare organizations in discovering that they lack a resilient defense to maintain control when ransomware strikes.
