Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg, the province’s largest hospital and CancerCare Manitoba were hit by a major ransomware attack. Rather than encrypting patient files, the breach compromised building management systems. In this follow-up episode, we explore the convergence of IT and Operational Technology (OT), the human entry points behind ransomware, and the hard lessons healthcare organizations must implement to protect physical infrastructure.
