But in the healthcare sector, ransomware can have a potentially very real and very dangerous physical impact,” Trend Micro Technical Director Bharat Mistry said. “Operational outages put patient lives at risk. We can’t rely on the bad guys to change their ways, so healthcare organizations need to get better at detection and response and share the appropriate intelligence with partners to secure their supply chains.”
