ANN ARBOR – In a study of 250,000 mobile devices, PCs and Macs used in the healthcare sector are running out of date versions of Flash, which are susceptible to vulnerabilities and malware like the Cerber or Locky ransomware strains.
Attackers target doctors’ and other healthcare workers’ out-of-date devices to install malware that encrypts patient information. Attackers use ransomware to encrypt patient information and demand financial payments to hand that data back over to healthcare organizations.
Duo provides IT administrators with visibility into all out-of-date devices used to access patient information in on-premises or cloud applications, such as Epic, Citrix, Outlook Web Access, and Office 365. Administrators can then use this information to prevent out-of-date devices from gaining access to those applications, significantly reducing the attack vector.
