Cyber Resilient Vendor Relationships for Healthcare’s Threat Landscape
September 14, 2020
A healthcare third-party vendor breach can have a devastating impact on multiple entities, which means it’s crucial to have cyber resilient vendor relationships to keep pace with these threats.
The 2020 Blackbaud incident is one of the best examples of just how great an impact a seemingly simple breach can have when it impacts a vendor. The cloud computing vendor provides services to a range of nonprofits, healthcare systems, and hospitals.
The ransomware attack in question occurred between February 7 and May 20, 2020. Much like other double extortion incidents reported this year, the hackers exfiltrated a subset of data from a self-hosted environment belonging to Blackbaud’s clients before the hackers were locked out of the system.
