The recent ransomware attack on Synnovis resulted in the cancellation of multiple medical procedures and leaked 400GB of sensitive data. The vulnerability arises from out-of-date IT systems. A report confirms that doctors waste 13 million hours annually due to inadequate or malfunctioning systems. Experts urge the implementation of multiple security controls to safeguard against cyber threats.
