Challenge
A healthcare organization fell victim to a ransomware attack that encrypted critical patient data, disrupting medical services and threatening patient privacy.
Solution
Our team activated its incident response plan, involving isolating affected systems, notifying law enforcement, and engaging cybersecurity experts. They opted not to pay the ransom. Instead, they restored systems and data from secure backups that were regularly tested for reliability.
Outcome
While the recovery process took time, we successfully restored their systems and patient data from backups. By not paying the ransom, they avoided funding criminal activities and maintained their integrity. The incident prompted the organization to enhance their security measures, including regular training for staff on recognizing phishing and other attack vectors.
