SCENARIO 1 Real-World Scenarios Numerous challenges can disrupt operations and compromise patient care. From cyberattacks to natural disasters and unexpected system failures, these threats necessitate robust disaster recovery strategies. Ransomware Attack on a Healthcare Network Background An extensive healthcare network comprising multiple hospitals and clinics experiences a ransomware attack. Cybercriminals encrypt critical patient data, rendering it inaccessible and demanding a hefty ransom for its release. The attack disrupts access to electronic health records (EHR), delaying medical treatments and endangering patient lives. DRaaS Implementation and Benefits ▪ Automated Failover: The DRaaS solution automatically redirects operations to a secure cloud environment, ensuring uninterrupted access to patient records. ▪ Data Recovery: Encrypted data is restored from recent backups, minimizing data loss and eliminating the need to pay the ransom. ▪ Operational Continuity: Critical systems return quickly online, ensuring patient care continues without significant interruption. Outcome The healthcare network resumes normal operations swiftly, maintains patient trust and avoids the financial and reputational damage associated with data breaches. 12 oneneck.com 12 oneneck.com 05 12 oneneck.com
