National Association of Counties (NACo): Cyberattack Simulation – Medical Ransomware

The National Association of Counties (NACo) is hosting a Cyberattack Simulation: Medical Ransomware webinar starting Monday, February 26^th through Friday, March 1^st, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM each day.

The advent of technology in the healthcare sector has revolutionized patient care, but it has also brought forth unprecedented challenges, notably the growing threat of medical ransomware attacks. These malicious incursions not only disrupt healthcare services but also jeopardize patient data security and compromise the integrity of medical institutions. Understanding the intricacies and potential ramifications of such attacks is critical for effective mitigation and preparedness. This cyber simulation focuses on medical ransomware, aimed at comprehensively examining its impact on healthcare systems. The simulation involves replicating realistic scenarios of ransomware infiltrations within medical environments, considering various attack vectors. The simulation aims to facilitate a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding medical ransomware attacks and provide a platform for refining response strategies and enhancing resilience against such threats.
