Ransomware Recovery

Ransomware Recovery for a Healthcare Provider

Client: A mid-sized healthcare organization managing sensitive patient records.

Challenge:
The client suffered a ransomware attack that locked critical systems and threatened to expose confidential patient data. This posed a significant risk to their operations, reputation, and compliance with healthcare data protection regulations.

Solution:
Our team immediately deployed an incident response unit to tackle the situation head-on. Here’s how we resolved it:

• Assessed the scope of the attack and isolated infected systems to prevent further spread.
• Identified the ransomware variant, traced its entry point, and pinpointed vulnerabilities in the client’s systems.
• Used secure backups to recover 100% of the encrypted data, ensuring no need to pay the ransom.
• Implemented advanced endpoint protection, set up real-time monitoring, and conducted comprehensive employee training to prevent future phishing attempts.

Result:
The healthcare provider successfully recovered all their data without financial loss to the attackers. Downtime was kept to a minimum, and a robust ransomware protection strategy was put in place to prevent future incidents.
