NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / September 3, 2024 / ShelterZoom announced today their partnership with InterSystems, a creative data technology provider dedicated to helping customers solve their most critical scalability, interoperability, and speed challenges, to deliver innovative technology to combat the cybersecurity crisis impacting healthcare organizations around the world.
"There has never been a more important time to proactively put cyber resiliency in place to protect the vital functions of healthcare at every level of society," said Chao Cheng-Shorland, ShelterZoom co-founder and CEO. "The legacy systems healthcare organizations rely on are susceptible to vulnerabilities and advanced threat actors. We need to change to a new approach driven by healthcare professionals who are serving patients at the frontlines instead of looking at it from a technical disaster recovery perspective."
Cyberattacks on healthcare organizations have risen drastically, with over seven hundred attacks taking place in the U.S. each of the past several years. For 2024 the number of attacks against healthcare groups is on track to surpass all previous years, including one of the largest on record with the Change Healthcare cyberattack in February. The widespread devastation impacted hundreds of healthcare organizations, from pharmacies to hospitals to individual practitioners, resulting in financial losses to United Healthcare Group, parent company of Change Healthcare, currently estimated at $2.4 billion, a full billion more than the initial prediction.
ShelterZoom's Spare Tire is a user-driven resiliency solution which can reduce the impact of cyberattack, creating a strong deterrent for attacks to occur in the future. The first-of-its-kind platform acts as a business continuity tool for both disaster response and planned outages. With this EHR clinical and operational resilience platform hospitals and other healthcare organizations can have care continuity which leads to reduced costs, fewer burdens on healthcare staff, increased productivity, and saved lives.
