“Recent attacks no longer feel like spray but are more targeted toward the critical supply chain in the health sector. It looks like bad actors are doing their homework,” says Errol Weiss, chief security officer at Health-ISAC.
Cyberwire’s Dave Bittner sits down with Errol Weiss, CSO of Health-ISAC, sharing their reaction to the ransomware attacks against healthcare. Health-ISAC and the American Hospital Association (AHA) have issued an advisory to raise awareness of the potential cascading impacts of cyberattacks on healthcare suppliers and the importance of mitigating single points of failure in supply chains. Recent ransomware attacks on OneBlood, Synnovis, and Octapharma by Russian cybercrime gangs have caused significant disruptions to patient care, emphasizing the need for healthcare organizations to incorporate mission-critical third-party suppliers into their risk and emergency management plans.
