Healthcare ransomware attacks continue to accelerate, causing widespread disruption across healthcare systems while putting sensitive patient data and lives at serious risk.
In this episode, we sat down with a leading healthcare cybersecurity expert who has been in the trenches responding to hundreds of ransomware attacks. Beth Waller, Chair of Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Practice at Woods Rogers, breaks down what you need to know before, during, and after a cyber incident.
