Why this gets expensive
A medical cyber incident is an operations problem before it is a technical one.
The question is not just “do we have antivirus?” It is whether the practice can keep serving patients, protect data, restore systems, and communicate clearly under pressure.
Recovery needs rehearsal
CISA recommends offline encrypted backups and regular restore testing so recovery is not being invented during an incident.
People need clear steps
The FTC recommends training staff and having incident response, disaster recovery, and business continuity plans in place.
