Los Angeles counsel Jason G. Weiss spoke to the Healthcare Info Security podcast about new and evolving cybersecurity threats posed to healthcare organizations during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the threat of disruptionware, Weiss noted, "Going into a hospital, if you successfully launch a distruptionware attack, you can literally shut down operating rooms, breathing machines ventilators - and use that as a powerful tool to demand ransoms." Weiss continued, "Hospitals need to begin looking at disruptionware as the great threat of 2020 and beyond."
