Regardless of Your Business Size, You’re a Target

Regardless of Your Business Size, You’re a Target

Apr 4, 2022

Many people in healthcare make the incorrect assumption that their business won’t be a target for cybercriminals because they are “just a one-man show” or “aren’t part of a big network”.  Neither way of thinking is wise, because when a cybercriminal is trying to compromise data or an entire network, every organization is valuable, and...

‘Tis the Season for Yams…and Scams

Nov 22, 2021

Seasonal Scams in Healthcare We’re entering the time of year that we pause and reflect on what we have to be thankful for, especially this year, as more of us are able to gather in person.  We can stop, slow down, and appreciate what we have.  But this doesn’t necessarily mean a break for those...

Human (t)Error

Oct 25, 2021

October. That time of year when we have pumpkin spice everything and when tricks, treats, and terrors are given front-page billing.  And for some people, it is the ideal time to binge-watch scary movies on repeat.  We stare at the screen with one eye open, begging the main characters not to go into the woods,...

Healthcare & Ransomware

Aug 10, 2021

As healthcare continues to be a prime target for cybercriminals, understanding what is happening as an employee is equally, if not more, important than just being aware of the risk.  Having insight into how the attack can play out will help you understand the threat and the outcome if a hack occurs.
