Ransomware: A Public Health Crisis

Why healthcare must treat ransomware as a life-or-death threat—and how leaders can build resilience.

Healthcare is under siege. Ransomware attacks impact more than IT systems—they delay critical care, increase patient mortality, overwhelm regional hospitals, and impose devastating financial costs. A single attack can cascade through entire healthcare ecosystems, threatening both lives and trust.

This white paper shares:

  • How ransomware contributes to measurable increases in patient deaths.
  • The operational and financial toll on providers, especially small and rural hospitals.
  • The ripple effects across entire regions when one hospital goes offline.
  • Practical recommendations for executives, boards, and CISOs to strengthen resilience.
