Cyber security becomes a greater challenge as the coronavirus pandemic forces many employees to work from home
Health care organisations are especially susceptible to schemes such as ransomware because"they are less likely to shut down their systems by refusing to pay," according to Tom Pendergast, member of a security and privacy training firm.It may look like an email from a supervisor with an attachment on the new "work from home policy." But it could be a cleverly designed scheme to hack into your network.
"We are seeing campaigns with message volumes up to hundreds of thousands which are leveraging this coronavirus." "When someone is working form their home it is a similar threat profile as at an airport or a Starbucks, you just don't have that protection you might have in the workplace," DeGrippo said .
Pendergast said health care organisations are especially susceptible to schemes such as ransomware because "they are less likely to shut down their systems by refusing to pay." "Healthcare infrastructures are highly susceptible to hacker attacks because of lax cybersecurity skills and safeguards."The potential for costly cyberattack s has prompted warnings for stepped up vigilance.
