Escalating cyber threats reshape risk in healthcare, with ransomware and data breaches now touching organisational survival as much as security operations. Disruptions can erode patient privacy, trigger costly litigation and strain finances already pressured by labour costs, inflation and reimbursement dynamics. The implications extend to continuity...Read more

Healthcare is moving from disconnected digitisation to purposeful integration where data, workflows and people align around patient value. The shift demands more than new tools: it requires upgraded infrastructure, clear governance, skilled teams and a culture that treats technology as an enabler of safer, faster, fairer care. AI now sits...Read more

Interlock is a ransomware variant first observed in late 2024 and actively targeting organisations in North America and Europe. It employs a financially motivated double extortion model, encrypting and exfiltrating data to pressure victims into payment. Uniquely, Interlock actors use uncommon access methods such as drive-by downloads and deceptive...Read more
