Summary
A cyberattack on Stryker disrupted operations across one of the largest medical device companies in the world, affecting ordering, manufacturing, and shipping and prompting hospitals to assess potential impacts. Unlike most healthcare cyber incidents, this was not a typical ransomware attack. In this episode, Gist Healthcare Podcast host J. Carlisle Larsen speaks with Phil Englert of Health-ISAC about what made the incident unusual and what it reveals about how healthcare organizations may need to rethink their response when an attack is focused on disruption rather than payment.
