Cyberattacks have remained an ongoing security threat for organizations around the world. As society has gone increasingly digital, cybercriminals have sought to maximize their profits by exploiting our vulnerabilities. The work-from home trend that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic over the past several years has increased our vulnerability, and
threat actors have been quick to increase their attempts at cybersecurity attacks. The year 2020 saw not only an increase in the frequency of cyberattacks, but also higher ransom payments as well. According to the Harvard Business Review, the amount companies paid to hackers grew by 300% in 2020.1 In this article, we will discuss how medical practices can be as prepared as possible in light of these imminent threats.
