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.
As these threats escalate, healthcare organizations must reassess their cybersecurity strategies and take steps to include mission-critical suppliers in their risk management plans. Failure to do so could leave them vulnerable to severe disruptions, compromising the integrity of their operations – and leaving them unable to deliver life-saving patient care.
Health-ISAC chief security officer Errol Weiss outlines the similarity of recent attacks targeting the healthcare supply chain, explains why collaboration and information sharing in sorely needed within the global health sector, and offers steps to bolster supply chain resiliency.
