It’s no secret that ransomware has become a rampant (and an oft-devastating) threat to organizations across virtually all sectors. Bad actors armed with digital-era malice like malware have the power to steal sensitive data, cause significant financial loss, and cripple critical infrastructure.
Unfortunately, this is especially true for more sensitive sectors like healthcare. In the event of a successful attack (i.e. “successful” from the attackers’ perspective), hospital operations can be disrupted, patient treatments delayed, and privacy compromised. Ransomware groups know the sensitivity of what’s at stake here; from insurance and payment information (e.g. claims and policy numbers, credit card numbers and bank account details) to PII and PHI (Personal Identifiable Information and Personal Health Information) and even to genetic testing records and biometric data, it’s crucial that none of these are left vulnerable.
The long story short? Healthcare remains an attractive target for cyberattacks.
Enter Nubeva Technologies and its essential layers of the “Three R’s” – Ransomware Reversal and Resilience. Nubeva’s patented software system captures ransomware encryption key materials at the moment of attack, and its myriad cyber-safeguarding solutions are powered by patented Session Key Intercept (SKI) technology. In simple terms, SKI scans application processes to detect and monitor operations in real time. Per Nubeva, “as of 2023, there are millions of instances of SKI technology deployed by customers and OEM relationships, and SKI is central to the profound cybersecurity measures Nubeva offers.”
This leads us to a new Nubeva announcement: Mere days ago, the company declared its success in decrypting live LockBit ransomware.
Highlighted in a newly published case study, Nubeva (with its wealth of expertise) was able to effectively decrypt ransomware in a targeted attack of a 240-bed hospital.
"Persistent ransomware groups, including LockBit, BlackCat, Black Basta, and ClOP are relentlessly targeting healthcare organizations," said Steve Perkins, CMO at Nubeva. "We are fully committed to empowering healthcare institutions with a simplified, rapid, and affordable solution to fortify their protection against such threats. We strongly urge these organizations to contact us immediately for a private briefing to explore how our advanced measures can effectively reduce risks."
And, in response to growing industry threats, Nubeva is also launching a promotional offering to reach even more healthcare organizations that, sadly, remain vulnerable. This campaign offers accelerated discounts and programs, enabling the immediate implementation of the company’s proactive Ransomware Reversal recovery solution (i.e. that we lightly touched on earlier in this article). This Nubeva program is aimed at providing exclusive discounts and payment plans, allowing any health entity to fit it into their current budgets to best reduce the risk of significant damages and undue interruptions to their patients and services.
“Our Ransomware Reversal,” Perkins added, “can decrypt ransomed data, sight unseen, without paying ransoms at all. This way, data is recovered quickly and your healthcare operations are completely restored. This is our resilient safety net that we hope more institutions engage with.”
