Strengthening Healthcare Cyber Resilience with an Assume-Breach Approach

Healthcare organizations are the top target for ransomware, averaging 1,999 attacks per week. Healthcare providers must shift from disaster recovery to a proactive "assume breach" posture.

Traditional Disaster Recovery (DR) is designed for hardware failures, not cyberattacks. 

  • The Replication Trap: Traditional DR creates real-time copies of data, if your production data is encrypted, your DR copy is likely encrypted too.
  • Targeted Backups: Attackers prioritize destroying or encrypting backups first to force ransom payments.
  • The "Insider" Threat: Most DR systems lack the controls to prevent a compromised privileged user from deleting or destroying recovery data. 

Pure Storage bridges the infrastructure gap, restoring operations quickly without repeating infection cycles. 

  • Immutable and Indelible Protection: Pure SafeMode™ Snapshots cannot be modified, encrypted, or deleted—even by administrators with compromised credentials.
  • Ultra-Fast Recovery: Move large data sets rapidly to minimize clinical downtime for Electronic Health Records (EHR) and imaging systems (PACS).
  • Verifiable Clean Copies: Instantly clone multiple versions of data for forensic validation to ensure you are restoring a clean, threat-free environment.
  • Regulatory Peace of Mind: Proactively demonstrate data integrity to regulators and potentially lower insurance exposure by maintaining immutable recovery points.
