Break the Attack Chain: Understanding Cybercriminals’ Focus on Credentials

In this discussion, industry security experts will delve into the intricate dynamics of cybercriminal activities within healthcare, shedding light on the prime targets of these attacks and the prevailing threat patterns in the industry. By understanding the motivations behind the selective targeting of job roles, cyber defenders can better align their protection strategies to address risks across the entire attack chain from initial compromise through lateral movement and eventual impact. Join us as we explore the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats in healthcare and uncover actionable insights to fortify security measures, protecting users from falling victim to these calculated attacks. A comprehensive understanding of the attackers’ strategies and preferred targets will empower healthcare organizations to build resilient defenses to safeguarding healthcare systems and data.
