Ransomware attacks on healthcare organisations are no longer just a security concern, they're a direct threat to patient safety. In this whitepaper from our cyber resilience partner Halcyon, you'll discover how ransomware is disrupting care delivery, increasing mortality rates, and overwhelming entire health systems.

Inside the whitepaper, you'll learn:

  • Why in-hospital mortality increased by 33 percent during ransomware incidents
  • How the average recovery cost reached $2.5 million in 2024, with most ransom demands exceeding $1 million
  • Why nearly two-thirds of attacks now involve patient data theft alongside encryption
  • How attacks on one hospital ripple outward, overwhelming neighbouring facilities and putting entire communities at risk
  • A practical, leadership-centred framework for building resilience, from board-level governance to frontline tactical controls

Whether you're a CISO, IT leader, or board member in healthcare or any organisation where downtime puts people at risk, this is essential reading. Download the whitepaper now.
