Ransomware is the digital version of a hostage situation—and healthcare practices are prime targets. Hackers break into your system, encrypt your data (like patient records, schedules, and billing info), and demand payment to give it back. You either pay the ransom or risk losing everything.

Just like washing your hands keeps germs away, cyber hygiene protects your digital life from viruses, scams, and data leaks.

In a world where ransomware headlines feel as common as weather updates, pentesting—short for penetration testing—has quietly become one of the most critical cybersecurity tools in modern healthcare.
