What Should Be Done in the Event of a Ransomware Attack?
In the event of a ransomware attack, immediate actions should include:
Isolating infected systems to prevent the spread of the malware. Reporting the incident to the IT department or cybersecurity team promptly. Following the healthcare facility's emergency protocol for ransomware attacks. Not paying the ransom, as it does not guarantee data recovery and may encourage further attacks. Working with cybersecurity professionals to remove the malware and restore data from backups.
