Recovering from a Ransomware Attack with Enterprise Backup and Recovery

A hospital falls victim to a ransomware attack and struggles to recover patient records.

Midwest Hospital falls victim to a ransomware attack losing patient records in the process.

Challenges

  • A regional medical center experienced a ransomware attack that encrypted critical IT systems and allowed attackers to access sensitive patient data, including names, Social Security numbers, health insurance details, and medical diagnoses. While the rural hospital swiftly restored many systems, it was unable to recover some patient records, impacting over 133,000 people. The center faced unique challenges, including limited IT resources and heightened risks to patient safety due to the lack of nearby healthcare alternatives.

Solutions

  • Fasoo Content Backup and Recovery (FC-BR) provides an ideal solution to mitigate the impacts of ransomware attacks for small, rural medical institutions. With real-time data protection, continuous backup ensures that sensitive patient data and operational records remain secure and can be restored quickly, minimizing downtime. Tamper-proof backup storage prevents attackers from encrypting or deleting backup files, safeguarding critical information. FC-BR’s rapid recovery allows for partial or complete restoration, ensuring hospitals can quickly recover operations and focus on patient care. And with proactive monitoring, the hospital will have advanced threat monitoring and automated response mechanisms that will detect and isolate malicious activity before significant damage occurs.
