Cyber attacks against health providers on the rise: Trustwave, IBM

2. ChatGPT, other large language models will make certain attacks harder to identify.

Generative artificial intelligence is the capability of algorithms to automatically generate content from user queries such as text, video and images. It’s also a potential threat to data security, according to the Spiderlabs report.  

While many companies have already begun investing in their own models, there were initial fears large language models would begin writing malicious code. That threat hasn’t yet fully materialized because the models require someone ro first understand how to code before the models produce malicious results, Sigler said.

But Sigler said AI is making it harder for employees to identify phishing scams or malicious emails. 

“When you have an AI engine that speaks that language natively, and understands exactly what you’re trying to say, that becomes a lot more compelling,” Sigler said. “Those red flags, those grammatical errors, those spelling errors tend to disappear.”

The report also said healthcare systems may face an increased risk of exposure due to their reliance on third-party vendors that may incorporate generative AI into their products. 

3. Healthcare lacks accurate inventory of devices.

The increased number of connected devices in healthcare further amplifies the vulnerability of the industry’s infrastructure, the report’s authors said. Devices ranging from an employee’s cell phone to medical equipment are all at risk. 

Sigler said many providers don’t have an accurate inventory of connected devices.  

“I see that as the biggest problem,” Sigler said. “Having a current, proper and ongoingly updated inventory of what you have, and how valuable they are to your organization…is going to help you prioritize the security controls you’ve put in place.”

Once an organization has an accurate inventory, Sigler said organizations should prioritize issuing a value to each area of data. Clinical data, for example, would likely have more controls and greater value within an organization than website analytics or marketing email lists.

“I think a lot of people just put the cart in front of the horse,” Sigler said. “They start setting up…

Trustwave report says businesses need to get more proactive about ransomware

Trustwave released its 2022 ransomware report, pointing out that just as security researchers continue to develop new methodologies and techniques to keep adversarial groups at bay, ransomware groups continue to do the same.

In a Jan. 5 blog post, Trustwave’s SpiderLabs detailed the activities of the leading ransomware threat groups: LockBit 3.0, Black Basta, Hive and BlackCat/ALPHV.

The researchers said these groups will continue to develop and expand if they continue to have success with their attacks — and they have. SpiderLabs said with an average of 1 out of every 40 organizations being hit by ransomware, it’s clear the industry needs proactive identification of potential threats so they can be mitigated properly before costing an organization millions of dollars.

SpiderLabs said early identification of a threat can be the difference between taking a single host offline for a few hours to remediate or taking an average of 22 days of recovery to bounce back after a ransomware attack, potentially from one of the leading ransomware groups.

Ransomware continues to reward its creators financially and they invest some of those rewards back into making the next version more profitable, said Joseph Carson, chief security scientist and Advisory CISO at Delinea. Carson said while some countries continue to provide safe havens for cybercriminal gangs to operate, ransomware will continue to cause havoc for many organizations around the world. 

“Eventually, ransomware will evolve so much it will start to impact the physical world, locking you out of your car, your home and your digital life,” Carson said. “Cybercriminals are also researching ways around the latest security controls and have invested resources and time into social engineering focused on abusing users’ trust and targeting cyber fatigue. It’s critical that IT professionals are current with the ransomware trends and techniques as it will help IT professionals identify the best ways to reduce those risks and enhance the security controls for the business they…
