While not all ransomware attacks make headlines, they continue to be a real threat to businesses, particularly healthcare entities. You may think it won’t happen to your organization or that there is nothing more you can do to protect your data, there are several strategies that can help up your ransomware attack prevention game:
Start by running drills. Make sure all your workers have basic cybersecurity training, then conduct regular tests. This is key as phishing emails are the easiest way for hackers to get into your system. Be sure to focus on education and reward instead of blaming and punishment. You don’t want people to be afraid to immediately report when they’ve made a mistake.
Elsewhere:
- Create a crisis response plan.
- Buy cyber insurance.
- Put experts on retainer.
- Back up employee data.
- Know your systems.
