What actually happens when ransomware hits a medical or dental practice?

It can start with something simple—a stolen password, a phishing email, or a computer that has not been updated.

Once the attacker gets in, they may try to access patient files, billing systems, and other important computers.

Then the real damage begins.

Files can become locked, computers may stop working, and your staff may lose access to the systems they need to care for patients.

Appointments can be delayed, billing can stop, and your entire practice can be disrupted.

Now you have to contain the attack, secure your network, investigate what happened, and restore your systems and data.

That’s why medical and dental practices need strong backups, multi-factor authentication, regular security updates, and employee training.

Don’t wait until ransomware shuts down your practice to find out where your weaknesses are.

Protect your practice before an attack happens.
