Cybercrime is on the rise and hackers have moved on from targeting individuals to targeting corporations both large and small. In recent memory, many high-profile companies have been the victim of some form of cyberattack.

Healthcare has emerged as a lucrative target for these crimes. Attacks jeopardize the safety of patients and security of caregivers.

This is the story of how one hospital system was held hostage through a ransomware attack. When faced with the decision to lose all access to patient data or pay a ransom, what will the hospital administration decide?

From the onset of the attack, through the decision-making process, to its eventual resolution, there are many lessons to apply about protecting health care in the digital world.

Reviews for Cyberpocalypse: Inside the Digital Assault on Healthcare

"""Dr. Surburg shows the importance of understanding cyber threats in the digital world. Although I was present during the Hancock Health cyberattack, the complexity of the situation is very well described by Dr. Surburg and actually presented some information I was not aware of, yet there."" CRAIG FELTY, COO/CNO, HANCOCK REGIONAL HOSPITAL ""Dr. Surburg captures the details, emotion and disruption surrounding the cyberattack of January 11, 2018 at Hancock Regional Hospital. His book covers key concepts of leadership necessary to respond to and survive a cyberattack. This is a must read for Hospital leadership in this day of increased cyberattacks as healthcare has become a focus of malicious cyber activities."" P. JON MILLER, CFO/VP FINANCE, HANCOCK REGIONAL HOSPITAL ""Dr. Surburg's writing style reminds me a lot of David Weber and some of Tom Clancy's earlier works. ... The introductory chapters are well sourced and he presents a good overview of the technological parts of security concepts."" ALEX NICOLL, SENIOR PRINCIPAL PRODUCT CYBERSECURITY ARCHITECT, JOHNSON CONTROLS, INC."
