Semperis stresses risk for healthcare organisations amidst rising cyber threats

Jeff Wichman of Semperis has warned about the dangers and potential futility of negotiating and paying ransoms after a ransomware attack on HCRG Care Group. Citing a Semperis study, he noted 30% of organisations hit by ransomware ended up making multiple payments.

He urged companies to ensure critical systems are evaluated and they maintain real-time surveillance of key network accounts and groups.
