Recently, the American Hospital Association warned that Black Basta, a known ransomware group, would be accelerating attacks within the healthcare sector. The group gained notoriety for their sophisticated attack methods and high-profile targets, and typically operates by infiltrating a network, exfiltrating sensitive data, and then encrypting the victim's files.
Healthcare organizations can stay vigilant against threat actors by adopting a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that incorporates regular testing and 24/7 monitoring. ProCircular also recommends the following:

If you were going to test the fault-points of a building, you wouldn’t hire the architect, you’d hire a demolitions expert. Similarly, you don’t want the designer of your network testing its security. If the team that configures your network does so incorrectly, they are most likely unaware. The creator of the environment has an inherent bias based on the angle from which they view it. They are blind to vulnerabilities, not necessarily because they are under-qualified, but because they are too close to the project. A security team has a “black box perspective”, which means they have the same outside view of the system that an attacker would. This outsider point of view is just one of the advantages a security expert has over an internal IT team. They also have the training, experience, time, and resources that would be impossible to lump in with a standard IT program.
