CISA Imminent Threat Alert for Healthcare Providers

October 29, 2020: Burwood Group believes in a strong community of collaboration and reducing security risks by sharing threat intelligence. We want to alert all healthcare providers to an urgent security notification specifically targeted to healthcare organizations.

On Tuesday, October 28, 2020, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), working with the FBI and HHS, issued an increased and imminent cybercrime threat to U.S. hospitals and healthcare providers, specifically regarding ransomware activity targeting the healthcare and public health sector, Alert (AA20-302A) Ransomware Activity Targeting the Healthcare and Public Health Sector.

Threats like this can be sophisticated and require experience to mitigate. Burwood Group specializes in advising clients in cybersecurity and how to interpret threat intelligence to protect confidentiality, integrity, and availability of business-critical systems and data.

If you are unsure of your ability to mitigate this notification or would like an assessment of your security program, Burwood can help. Please contact us to talk about your concerns.
