Our
AAMCNews team (kudos,
@Stacy Weiner!) has just published a
new story on the growing threat of ransomware attacks on academic medical centers – and what hospitals are doing to shore up their security. You can read the article at
https://www.aamc.org/news-insights/growing-threat-ransomware-attacks-hospitals.
To our CMO and IT colleagues in the communities network, we have a few questions:
- Has your institution been increasing efforts to protect against ransomware?
- What are some of the top tips you would share with leaders trying to prevent - or handle - a ransomware attack?
We welcome your feedback, thoughts, and tips -- please reply in the comments section. + some of our AAMC CMOG community members for your thoughts! CC: @Jason Foltz
