ThreatLocker has reaffirmed its commitment to defending healthcare organizations, standing on the cybersecurity frontline to help hospitals and providers safeguard critical systems, protect patient data, and maintain uninterrupted care in the face of rising threats.
Hospitals around the globe are increasingly being targeted by cyberattacks. Cybercriminals are capable of wreaking havoc by causing hospital downtime due to breaches, the shutting down of computer systems to contain breaches, the diversion of patients to other facilities, and total disruption in some cases.
“We take cybersecurity seriously because it’s more than just saving personal data, it’s also about saving lives,” said ThreatLocker CEO and Co-founder Danny Jenkins. “Cybercriminals consider hospitals as easy targets that will do whatever it takes to stay operational for the patients.”
Hospitals and healthcare providers face unique cybersecurity challenges: legacy systems, high uptime requirements, and sensitive patient data.
“Hospitals are particularly vulnerable to data breaches due to the complexity of their systems–which are often outdated–and the openness of clinical environments. Several endpoints are physically accessible in patient-facing areas, and users–such as doctors and nurses–are not necessarily tech experts. They are focused on saving lives, not spotting phishing emails, which makes them prime targets for attackers.”
People are always the biggest vulnerability in any organization, which is why real protection goes beyond just training. The priority should be putting the right controls in place to limit impact if mistakes happen.
ThreatLocker Zero Trust security stack is built for these realities, enabling healthcare IT teams to enforce precise control over what can run, where it can run, and what data it can access.
Hospitals should also block untrusted software, enforce multi-factor authentication, and maintain full visibility of their network with up-to-date, audited systems. These are the fundamentals that make the difference.
“ThreatLocker stops ransomware at the source by denying unknown applications from executing in the first place,” said ThreatLocker Chief Product Officer Rob Allen. “That’s what makes it such a critical part of healthcare defense strategies.”
ThreatLocker currently protects more than 60,000 organizations globally, including hospitals, clinics, healthcare service providers and other industries.
