Protecting the Healthcare Supply Chain Against Russian Ransomware Attacks
The healthcare sector is under siege.
In recent months, an alarming wave of cyber-attacks has laid bare critical weaknesses within the healthcare supply chain.
Russian ransomware gangs, known for their sophisticated and relentless tactics, have targeted key healthcare suppliers such as Synnovis, OctaPharma and OneBlood, disrupting essential services and jeopardizing patient care on a global scale.
