Early in June 2024, the National Cyber Security Centre announced that a Russian cyber hacking gang is behind the ransomware attack that sparked major chaos at three London hospitals. This attack resulted in a severe reduction in capacity, with hospitals cancelling operations, tests and blood transfusions.
This unfortunate event underlines the critical need for robust endpoint management, especially for healthcare organisations. As we edge closer to the Windows 10 end of life, healthcare organisations are facing a critical juncture. The impending need for a hardware refresh presents not just a financial challenge but also a cybersecurity one.
Protecting Healthcare Organisations
At Insentra, where our pedigree in partnering with health organisations is well-established, we understand the stakes are high. With 80 to 90% of ransomware breaches stemming from unmanaged endpoints, the urgency for a robust endpoint strategy has never been more pressing.
Our experience has shown that an unmanaged device is a ticking time bomb in your IT infrastructure. It’s not a matter of if, but when it will become the entry point for a cyberattack. And with the healthcare sector being one of the most targeted by cybercriminals, due to the sensitive nature of the data handled, the risk is exponentially higher.
But there’s a silver lining. Engage with Insentra to leverage IGEL’s Endpoint Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Calculator, a tool designed to turn this challenge into an opportunity. By evaluating your current endpoint landscape, the calculator can inform a strategy that not only saves money but also fortifies your defences against cyber threats.
Investing in endpoint security is not just about avoiding costs; it’s about valuing patient trust and safeguarding the integrity of the healthcare system. Engaging to complete the TCO calculator is the first step towards a comprehensive endpoint strategy that aligns with our core values of Honesty, Integrity, Trust, Accountability, Celebration, Efficiency, and Service Excellence (HITACES).
