The study also found that ransomware attacks have an adverse impact on patient mortality rates and increase the number of patients transferred to other facilities. In addition, more organizations are paying ransoms, with the average payment increasing. The study highlights the importance of cybersecurity benchmarking in reducing the impact of ransomware attacks and improving patient care.
