2022-10-19 10:00:00 | Alarming attacks on Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) (lien direct) | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. The impact of ransomware attacks on healthcare is as alarming as it is under-addressed. The United States healthcare system alone faces an annual burden of nearly $21 billion due to these attacks. It pays well over $100 million in ransoms, and is beginning to acknowledge the tragic realities of impacted patient care, including higher patient mortality rates. For every headline related to cyberattacks, there are likely hundreds more that go unreported. In a study released in 2021, IoT/IoMT devices were revealed to be the attack vector for 21% of ransomware attacks. In May 2022, CISA Senior Advisor Joshua Corman further documented the rising risks during a Senate HELP Committee hearing. And in August 2022, the Ponemon Institute and Ivanti’s partner Cynerio teamed to dive even deeper into the impact of insecure medical devices on hospitals and patients in their Insecurity of Connected Devices in Healthcare 2022 report. Statistics from the report show: 43% of respondents experienced at least one ransomware attack. 88% of cyberattacks involve an IoMT device. The average data breach cost is well over $1 million. Tragically, 24% of attacks result in increased mortality rates. Seven out of ten respondents (71%) believe that very high security risks are created by these otherwise overwhelmingly beneficial marvels of modern medicine. Recognition of risk is a step in the right direction, although it is unfortunately more of a talking point than one of action. Over half (54%) of respondents did not report senior management requiring assurances of properly addressed IoT/IoMT device risk. Even more concerning, two thirds (67%) don’t believe their devices are being patched in a timely manner - the most basic, widely accepted and often required action for nearly any healthcare environment. The current landscape of most hospitals - battling an epidemic with exhausted staff, strained resources, limited cybersecurity expertise and massive bullseyes - makes them easy targets. A consolidated effort to improve hospital security is needed; AT&T, in partnership with Ivanti Neurons for Healthcare, offers specific solutions to support risk reduction through actionable guidance. Reports demonstrate before-and-after security status, reflecting the improvements gained by taking action. Network segmentation recommendations integrate with existing NAC solutions, adding intelligence and visibility to the process. Dashboards quantify risks by device, manufacturer, hardware type, and OS, providing a strategy to fight cybercriminals who leave morbid results in their ceaseless drive for ransoms. In as little as five days, a proof of value engagement will demonstrate a reduction in risk for your healthcare organization.

2022-10-11 10:00:00 | PCI DSS v4.0 (lien direct) | 2022 is the year that much of the world managed, to varying degrees of success, to get back to normal. People ramped up traveling, returned to in-person activities and many returned to the office. The pandemic changed most aspects of day-to-day life, but hackers and other bad actors generally continued making life difficult for businesses, governments, and non-profit entities. As a result, there have been some innovative new ways to target networks and IT infrastructures that keep CISOs and their teams up at night. A sample of those types of concerning threat vectors include Ransomware as a Service, targeting IOT/OT infrastructure, general supply chain attacks. Tried and true methods, like phishing, and targeting unpatched or outdated systems to find vulnerabilities also continued. Data shows that threats are increasing in volume and impact across every industry and government agency. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently reported that 14 critical US sectors have been the subject to intense ransomware attacks and the FBI identified over 2,000 ransomware attacks between January and July of 2022. (source) CheckPoint estimates that 1 out of 40 organizations will be hit by a ransomware attack and 84% of those sees some amount of data exfiltration. IBM appraises the average cost of a data breach at $4.3M and the recovery time from such attacks is approximately 22 days. And with all of that said, the World Economic Forum still attributes 95% of all data breaches to human error. The cybersecurity industry is fighting back. The PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) sorted through over 6,000 pieces of feedback from over 200 organizations, to help it create the new standard aimed at significantly reducing the success of these types of attacks in the future. On May 31, 2022, the PCI SSC released version 4.0 of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). This provides an accepted baseline of technical and operational requirements designed to protect various types of user account data. The updated standard and Summary of Changes document are available now on the PCI SSC website. Version 4.0 is a significant update to the standard, so to enable organizations to understand the new requirements and plan, execute and test updates, the current version of 3.2.1 remains active through March 31, 2024. Assessors are undergoing training and certification for the new standard now, and once available, they will be able to assess to either the current or new standard, based upon the plans of the organization. The new standard had many expected updates based upon evolving payment card industry security needs. There are also changes to the frequency of expected effort, shifting from specific durations between work to the idea that security is a continuous process. The stated goals for PCI DSS v4.0 are as follows: Continue to Meet the Security Needs of the Payment Industry; Promote Security as Continuous Process; Add Flexibility for Different Meth | Ransomware Data Breach Tool Vulnerability Threat Guideline | ||

Sullivan affirmatively worked to hide the data breach from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and took steps to prevent the hackers from being caught. We will not tolerate the concealment of important information from the public by corporate executives more interested in protecting their reputation and that of their employers than in protecting users.
