Huenezion participated in the KISA Ransomware Resilience Conference. On the 16th, the "5th Ransomware Resilience Conference" was held. Huenezion emphasized the need to secure cyber resilience in responding to ransomware in the medical sector.
At the event, Huenezion gave a presentation on "Ransomware Response Strategies from a Cyber Resilience Perspective in the Medical Sector." The speaker was Jin Il-an, a director at Huenezion. Jin said recent ransomware attacks in the medical sector have gone beyond simple data encryption. He added that attack patterns are expanding to include disruption of medical services and data theft and leakage.
Jin analyzed medical institutions as structures in which major clinical systems such as EMR, PACS, and LIS, medical devices, external remote access, and various IT infrastructure are interconnected. He also explained that cyber breaches targeting medical institutions can lead to actual disruptions in medical services.
It was emphasized that ransomware response strategies need to shift from a prevention-centered approach to one that maintains critical services during an attack, restores systems to a trusted state, and then strengthens response capabilities. Accordingly, the direction of the transition was presented from a "cyber resilience" perspective.
The presentation also said that it is necessary to build a phased cyber resilience framework that takes into account the size and operating environment of medical institutions. It also explained that small and mid-sized medical institutions have difficulty securing dedicated security personnel and infrastructure, making it important to identify core medical services and to establish minimum response and recovery systems in preparation for ransomware incidents.
Huenezion has continuously taken part in medical security R&D, including research on anomaly analysis for ransomware in connected medical devices (IoMT) and medical network environments. It also provides the integrated information security subscription service, "Secure 365."
Huenezion plans to support customers in strengthening their ransomware response capabilities based on a cyber resilience perspective and the integrated security and monitoring capabilities of Secure 365.
