?? Think your hospital has full visibility? Think again. Threat actors don’t always need to break in—they exploit unmanaged IoT devices, move laterally through hospital networks, and remain undetected for weeks or months. ?? The biggest risk? Unsecured IoT and connected medical devices that serve as entry points for ransomware and advanced cyber threats. When security teams lack visibility, these threats remain undetected—until it’s too late. Cybersecurity in healthcare isn’t just about stopping breaches—it’s about monitoring, detecting, and responding to threats before they disrupt patient care. ???? How prepared is your hospital to detect threats before they escalate? Let’s discuss in the comments ?? ?? Stay tuned for deeper insights in next week's feature on IoT threat detection. #HealthcareCybersecurity #ThreatDetection #IoTSecurity #CyberThreats #Ransomware

?? One medical device gets infected. What happens next? ?? Most hospital networks weren’t built for security—they were built for connectivity. Thousands of IoT and medical devices are connected to networks that are too open, too flat, and too vulnerable. ?? The result? A single breach can spread in seconds. If a hacker gets access to just one device… how far can they go? ?? In our upcoming live webinar, we’ll break down: ? How cybercriminals exploit flat networks to spread attacks. ? Why network segmentation is the best way to stop lateral movement. ? How to segment networks without disrupting hospital workflows. ?? Webinar Date: March 26 | ? 10 AM Eastern ??

So far, medical devices affected in ransomware attacks have mostly been a casualty of IT networks being brought offline during incident response. But the potential nightmare scenario is a targeted device attack in which cybercriminals threaten to kill patients unless a ransom is paid, said Dr. Eric Liederman, CEO of consulting firm CyberSolutionsMD and former longtime director of medical informatics at Kaiser Permanente. "How about ransoming an organization by an attacker that is intentionally killing patients?" as hackers could threaten to shut off ventilators of intensive care unit patients, control infusion pumps to administer fatal doses of chemotherapy or change the settings of radiation oncology equipment to deliver a deadly amount of radiation to cancer patients, he said. "We really haven't seen this in this country yet, but it's all possible," he said in an interview during the HIMSS 2025 conference last week. https://lnkd.in/g3SukCXW

?? Attackers Are Exploiting a New Driver Vulnerability Cybercriminals are weaponizing a newly discovered driver vulnerability (CVE-2025-0289) in Paragon Partition Manager’s BioNTdrv.sys, using it to escalate privileges and deploy ransomware. This attack is part of a growing trend known as Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD), where attackers introduce a trusted but exploitable driver to bypass security defenses, disable endpoint protection, and take full control of a system. ??Why does this matter for healthcare cybersecurity? ?? ?? Privilege Escalation – Once executed, hackers gain SYSTEM-level access, potentially compromising patient data, imaging systems, and connected medical devices. ?? Healthcare IoT Exposure – Many unpatched medical devices still rely on outdated drivers, increasing the risk of exploitation. ???? The good news? Microsoft has added the vulnerable driver to its blocklist, and Paragon has released version 2.0.0 to patch the issue. But healthcare organizations must take proactive steps to secure their environments. ?? Read the full article here:https://hubs.la/Q0393HZS0 ??
