Held Hostage in Hollywood: In February 2016 the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, in Los Angeles, paid a ransom of about US$17,000 to hackers who infiltrated and disabled its computer network with ransomware. The hospital paid the ransom of 40 Bitcoins (currently worth about $16,664) after a “network infiltration” began on February 5, when employees reported being unable to access the hospital’s network and electronic medical records system. “The malware locked access to certain computer systems and prevented us from sharing communications electronically,” said hospital CEO Allen Stefanek.

Healthcare entities continue to face evolving cybersecurity threats that can put patient safety, privacy and operations at risk. Health information security breaches occur daily and will continue to accelerate as cyber-criminals recognize the value of patient data and the critical need for provider organizations to keep systems up and running. The cost of a data breach is astounding, and one few healthcare organizations can absorb as they continue to deal with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Data has become a new global currency. As with other currencies, it has also become a target for threats from those who wish to exploit its value. Ransomware is the new threat to data and it’s wreaking havoc on businesses of all sizes around the world. Until recently, if you ask an IT organization to describe typical causes for service outages they would most likely mention network failures, power failures, hardware failures, user error, etc. In today’s world, we can add ransomware to that list.

The present White Paper will focus on MEC (Multi-access Edge Computing) technologies and intends to explore security-related use cases and requirements with the aim of identifying aspects of security where the nature of edge computing results in insufficient industry approaches to cloud security. Edge computing environments are by nature characterized by a complex multi-vendor, multi-supplier, multi-stakeholder ecosystem of equipment including both HW and SW devices. Given this overall level of system heterogeneity, the areas of security, trust, and privacy are key topics for the edge environments. Finally, the advent of edge cloud federations and the presence of (far) edge devices, e.g., in Internet-ofThings environments, requires tackling MEC security with an end-to-end (E2E) approach by leveraging existing standards relevant in the area, as carefully selected to be applicable in edge computing systems.

Most of the Small to medium-sized companies are unaware about the ways in which they’re vulnerable. More than 45% mistakenly believe they’re not a viable victim. They are just too small a target in comparison to larger organizations and tend to have a blind eye towards the cyber threats they face, which is in sharp contrast to what attackers think.
