Code Blue Clear: How One Hospital Survived the Largest Ransomware Attack in History

ROME, NY — The Griffiss Institute and the Cyber Research Institute, together, present a Dine & Development Training Series Workshop: Code Blue Clear:

How One Hospital Survived the Largest Ransomware Attack in History, on Thursday, May 17, 2018, 11:30 am – 1:00 pm, at Griffiss Institute, 725 Daedalian Drive, Rome, NY. The cost to attend is $15 and includes lunch. Interested parties are asked to register by Tuesday, May 15, at www.griffissinstitute.org/dineanddevelopment.

The Dine & Development Training Series is a collaborative effort, bringing together local businesses, Air Force Research Laboratory researchers, and academia to expose and inform the Central NY business and research community on technology-driven topics of common interest, and to also promote business development by providing networking opportunities among researchers and attendees.

Topic: Headaches. Angina. Heart Attacks.

No, this isn’t just another day in your Emergency Department, it’s the newest threat to patient safety: cybercrime. From crippling ransomware attacks that leave computers and EMRs inaccessible, healthcare has been devastated by wave after wave of criminal activity. For the first time in history, cybersecurity has become life or death. But just like in healthcare, there’s hope. The very same issues that make our hospitals and clinics vulnerable may also be our greatest strengths, if you know how to manage them correctly.

Join the Griffiss Institute and Cyber Research Institute as GreyCastle Security takes you through a minute-by-minute replay of the largest ransomware attack on a US hospital to date. Ransomware attacks are inevitable and being resilient is all that matters. This sophisticated ransomware variant known as “SamSam” compromised over 6,000 assets and shut down the entire system. In this new era of cybercrime, you can’t afford to give into the ransom payment demand. Every second counts and so does patient safety.
