Small Healthcare? Vendor Ransomware Is Your Top Risk

Small healthcare practices often believe they’re too small to be targeted by ransomware. The truth is, attackers are increasingly using third-party vendors like billing firms, IT providers, and cloud-based EMR systems to breach smaller organizations with weaker defenses. These vendor-based attacks are fast, costly, and devastating. Patient data, compliance, and operational continuity are all at risk. Learn how these attacks happen — and what steps you can take now to prevent them.

Phishing: Why Staff Are Your Biggest Risk and What To Do

Phishing attacks are one of the most common — and costly — threats facing healthcare practices and SMBs. All it takes is one employee clicking a malicious link for malware to spread, systems to go down, and sensitive data to be exposed. These attacks are increasingly sophisticated, targeting staff through fake login pages, executive impersonation, and urgent requests. This article breaks down why phishing works so well, how it's evolving in healthcare and small businesses, and what you can do to build a strong human and technical defense.

Securing Medical Devices in Healthcare: Preventing Unseen Hijacks

This article explores how threats like "medjack" work, why traditional defenses fail, and what steps practices can take to secure their most critical and often overlooked systems. Learn how to protect your devices before a breach exposes your patients and your business.
