Ransomware continues to pose a serious risk to healthcare organizations, where system downtime can directly affect patient care. With ransomware targeting healthcare, attackers encrypt or steal critical data, disrupt operations, delay treatments, and force organizations into high-pressure decisions.
Healthcare is especially vulnerable because digital systems must remain available at all times, medical data is highly valuable, and security budgets often lag behind operational demands. Recent global incidents show how ransomware in healthcare systems can cancel procedures, expose sensitive records, and cause lasting financial and reputational damage.
Even with strong prevention measures, no environment is completely immune. Backup and disaster recovery are essential for resilience—helping organizations restore clean data, maintain continuity, and recover without paying attackers.
